The Construction Season Series

There are two sides of this story,

-The paradox; we build more roads that take us to remote places that were not accessible before, but we destroy those places in the process.

- The satire; the construction mess we experiment after the winter is over, here in Michigan people say that we have two seasons winter and construction, I mix both in my prints.

About me

I use Block-printing as my main medium of expression, I love the aggressiveness of the black and white impressions from a block that was cut with a variety of knives and gauges.

I was supposed to be a graphic designer, but things didn’t turn out that good for me in that area, and instead; I became a visual artist; which is almost the same thing anyway. I’m originally from Mexico city, I moved to Michigan in 2000 and have established my art doing in Grand Rapids, where I do business as Red Hydrant Press.  Here I’m known for my black and withe linocuts, for my  Dia de los Muertos skeleton prints and for giving away prints on my birthday.

I believe that art should be accessible to everyone who has the need for it.
