Define your art:

I’m inspired by everyday, the geometric forms, and the light that decomposes in colors. I capture the ordinary looking for an extraordinary angle.

Your idea of perfect happiness?

Peace and respect to others.

What determines your future: Fate or free will?  

Fate brings situations that I will choose by free will

Which would you respect, power or wealth? 

Spiritual wealth, power is just an illusion.

Are you bound by honor or duty?  

By my conscience

Conglomerated

What do you say when you talk about Mexico?

If not Mexico, where? Or: Why Mexico?

Which national icon most inspires you and why?

The eagle, symbol of freedom.

Your news source of choice?
