About Me

For now I am out of Oaxaca, I am a Sociologist, I dedicate myself to photography as a means of expression, through it to empathize, find narratives that not only speak from the personal but on the contrary share forms and new ways of looking, I also have a workshop for manufacturing windows and doors in aluminum, and I am constantly creating photographic series.
I love learning to cook depending on where I am, I can also share my culture from food to language, I speak Spanish and Zapotec, a native language, I come from a community so I don't consider myself demanding, I grew up with many shortcomings, but I'm happy to now be able to meet people along my way. I also like everything related to cultivating the land and I love spending time with pets, animals, and taking care of them.
I love board games.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2023 I won a photography contest in my city of Oaxaca, and I had the opportunity to have a photography exhibition called "Galnasák" at the "Manuel Alvarez Bravo" Photography Center about healing in my community. I also took that same exhibition to Cyprus to exhibit it and share a little of my work.
Later, I continued working on another photographic series called "Collar de Limon" a family series that addresses the importance of memory as a means of healing, it is a series in memory of my sister who passed away.
I recently finished another series called "Mesauria" about the situation of the territorial conflict on the Island of Cyprus, creating a series focused on documentary fiction about a historical fact of the disappearance of people when the invasion broke out, which is currently a mystery their disappearance.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic concepts about photography, and recommend my photographers and visual artists who have trained me. I can also teach how to cultivate . If you are interested in Spanish, I can share what I know and of course help you with any tasks you may have.
