My divergent eyes and my Canon RebelXSi, colouring the world outside the lines
My artistic practice reflects my identity, complexity, life story. Being an artist is a fragment of who I am, alongside being a queer, Indigenous Mexican, working-class migrant, researcher and activist. My work colours outside the lines of how we should be, create, learn, live and belong. I create images of what resists erasure, stagnation, marginalisation and invisibility beyond dominant narratives of art, history and identity. In photography, my visual language is also informed by resistance. It is shaped by saturated colour, grain, texture and clear movement, reflecting visions realities outside canonic parameters, and my own neurodivergent sensory experience. It is all: a personal aesthetic need, cultural identity and an anti-colonial practic that expresses beauty in grit, multiplicity, emotional intensity and experience, resisting Eurocentric ideals of restraint and uniformity. At the centre of my practice lies a belief in the vital role of art as cultural resistance and healing
