Cherán, MX – 1993
Purépecha artist graduated from the Popular Faculty of Fine Arts of the UMSNH. His visual work emerges from the collective memory of his community of origin Cherán. The anthropological and ethnographic mark a relationship with the social, political, mystical and cultural as an apprehension of his identity, from a community thought.
His large-format paintings are a ritual space where each of his characters finds themselves in an otherness that is interwoven with the forest, linked to the prolific heritage of their ancestors, his installations and sculptures emerge from a territorial space in a symbolic imaginary, thus creating a contemporary narrative from a critical reflection on modernity.
