He has obtained honorable mentions in biennials in Mexico..Since 2010 his work revolves
around the capitalism-consumerism and obesity-identity binomials, as viewed from the micro

Using the wrappers of junk-food products as raw material, point towards a political reflection,
by tightly joining the critical and social senses.
The result: pieces rich in texture, whose colour palette comes from the plastic discards of
poor nourishment; individual consequences of globalization and without doubt one of the
scourges of the 21st Century.
