I am a ceramic sculptor originally from Guanajuato, Mexico, living in Belgium since 2015. My work is primarily figurative, though I often abstract certain elements within the composition. I combine and reinterpret forms such as bodies, rocks, animals, and utilitarian objects.

I work with stoneware, building each sculpture by hand. I intentionally keep the process minimal, using only essential tools and a simple setup in order to remain independent and focused on the material. My creative process alternates between concept-driven and process-driven approaches.

In some works, I begin with a clearly defined concept and form. The initial idea determines proportions, balance, and overall structure. The challenge in these cases is primarily technical: selecting appropriate construction methods, internal supports, and structural solutions so the finished piece remains close to the original intention.

In other projects, the process begins with a technical question or a structural experiment. I may want to test a specific construction strategy, explore a new technique, or push the limits of stability—such as creating a body supported by extremely thin legs. I start from a basic structure and allow the form to develop through continuous adjustments and problem-solving.

As the sculpture evolves, the concept often emerges from the physical process itself. Structural tensions, balance points, and unexpected forms suggest new directions. Decisions are guided by intuition and by what the material allows.

The days or weeks spent working on a piece allow external influences—daily experiences, physical states, or environmental conditions—to subtly shape the work. Each sculpture becomes a record of intentional choices, accumulated experiences, unconscious decisions, and time.
