"Xinú Bouquet" (2023)

Etching piece that I made in collaboration with Alex Bordes at the Bordes Bordes workshop for the brand Xinú. The bouquet unites some of the species of aromatic plants that they use in their perfumes: Papantla vanilla, Reina de noche, Geum rivale, Tuberose and lemon leaves.

The print was part of a special commemorative edition for Mother's Day last year. I enjoyed the entire process even though the time realice was very short. In those days of intense work I learned more details about the process in company of Alex. Now I understand more the engraving technique and feel confident in the workshop.

Comission — "Hold"

Comfortable cats.

A few days ago I gave a drawing workshop on botany inspired by the shapes of dried plants and flowers.

I enjoy giving this workshop to bring people closer to free drawing without thinking about technique, style, or any specific objective, just drawing.

“ANOTHER STATION”

To say goodbye to the season, I made a set of transparent flower and leaf stickers that say "Goodbye" to summer.

I keep trying to come up with something new with the warm tones of sunset.

“Soul of home”.

Four illustrations for four poems written by Fátima Ortiz for the Japanese magazine Appetite.

The poems talk about the four natural elements: air, earth, water, and fire, their relationship with Mexican cuisine, and how it is the essence of home.
