Paints.
My painting practice is rooted in color, texture, and storytelling. I work primarily with acrylics and mixed media, exploring themes of memory, culture, and connection. Inspired by everyday moments and traditions like Día de los Muertos, my work often blends personal symbols with universal emotions.
