Q & A: AN INTERVIEW BY ACCD
Tell us about what inspired your current creative project? At the moment, I am working on few creative projects. One is a limited edition tee shirt company named My Friends Love Me. The inspiration for this line of shirts is to take contemporary character designs and make them metaphoric vehicles to existentialism and the human experience. The second project I am busy with is a collaboration with a dear friend of mine who is a musician by the name of Orfeo. We have been collaborating on ideas for visuals for his music albums and music videos for some time. Our inspiration varies depending on the concept behind the music but lately we have been inspired by spiritual matter and other worldly perspectives that help us shape our perception of the universe and alternative dimensions. The visuals are often inspired by religious iconography, shamanism, metaphysics and extraterrestrial experiences. The third project I am working on is an illustration project. The inspiration for the illustrations I exhibit at galleries touch on the deep-rooted mysticism of spiritual healers known in Mexican culture as Curanderos. The practice is deeply ingrained into my family’s history. My illustrations depict various rituals and visual cues found within the Curandero experience. I am very much interested in the metaphysical and spiritual human experience and I get very excited when I get to work with people and projects on this subject matter. It not only connects me to my design and illustration skills but also takes me to a higher level in the creative process.
