"I am pleased to announce that my work 'Reliquary of Hope' (#369) has been selected for the prestigious annual exhibition Best of 2026, organized by the Ohio Craft Museum.
Out of nearly 400 submissions, my piece was chosen by distinguished juror Carol Sauvion, creator and executive producer of the Peabody Award-winning PBS documentary series Craft in America. Being recognized by one of the most influential voices in the contemporary craft movement in the United States marks a fundamental milestone in my artistic career.
The exhibition will open at the Ohio Craft Museum in Columbus in May 2026 and will subsequently travel to Kent State University during the fall. I invite you to join me at the opening reception to celebrate the technical excellence and narrative of today’s craftsmanship."
My artistic practice is rooted in the profound symbolic language of Mexican folk traditions, where memory, resilience, and sacred beauty converge. Through a fusion of ancestral techniques and contemporary visual storytelling, I create works that serve as both cultural offerings and intimate reflections—spaces where the past breathes into the present, and the personal becomes universal.
I am drawn to art’s capacity to act as a mirror of the soul, a sanctuary for memory, and a vessel for hope. Each piece I create is a meditation on the human condition—its fragility, its strength, its longing for connection. Whether through the meticulous placement of thousands of glass beads or the delicate cuts of paper exvotos, my work seeks to honor the invisible threads that bind us to each other, to the elements, and the sacred.
My practice maintains a constant dialogue between tradition and innovation, between the collective and the deeply personal. It is through this dialogue that I aim to create not only visual experiences, but spiritual encounters—art that embraces, remembers, and uplifts.
