Mexico City, 1994.
He studied Visual Arts at the National School of Plastic Arts of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. He was part of the 2020 generation of the SOMA Educational Program.

His work is based on historical reviews in order to recognize the processes of conformation of the past. From this, he traces other stories that allow him to make use of historical “inaccuracies”in order to tell other narratives that do work as counter-stories of The official story. To perform that tracking interviews things, objects, furniture, frames, tickets and letters, all those objects that were present during “important” moments in history, but due to their materiality, size, location or simplicity went unnoticed and have been relegated, to demonstrate that, despite this, they have been mediators of complex diplomatic agreements.

He is currently interviewing objects that have been inserted into the narratives of the exhibitions ofMexico in the United States during the 20th century.
