Every day, this man sits in the same spot along the narrow alley of the market. Seated by the door, he watches those who pass by, listens to conversations, and perhaps keeps secrets only the walls know. His constant, serene presence speaks of the passage of time and the intimate bond between people and the spaces they inhabit.

I am passionate about both painting and photography. Through these two forms of art, I seek to capture and share the essence of each person I portray. A gaze, a gesture, or the way someone holds themselves can reveal emotions and stories that words cannot. My work is driven by the desire to connect the viewer with that inner world—inviting them to feel, reflect, and discover the humanity that lies within every face. From Mexico, I continue learning, exploring, and creating with the same passion that first drew me to art.
