Xylography, Lithography, Spain
I received this scholarship before the pandemic but had to delay it for 2 years until I could travel to Spain. It took place in the countryside 40 minutes away from Barcelona in a small town called Sant Pere de Vilamajor, in an ex convent from the late 1600 b.c. that had been refurbished and transformed into an Art Residency.
I spent 3 amazing months surrounded by nature and provided with a great studio to work on my graphic art, mostly Xylography. I met other artists from Colombia, Spain and Argentina and it was the first step to us finally moving to Europe. From there we moved to Lisbon, Portugal.

Nature, Paintings, Large Format
This project began years ago in Oaxaca (MEX) as a series of block prints made using real shadows and sunlight. It wasn’t easy to find green shadows in a region where the cutting down of trees was not regulated. This was the trigger I needed to start working for this cause.
The highest rates of deforestation are seen in developing countries where Foundation Reforestemos is working with communities to stop the clearing of forests. More Green Shadows Project consists of making a contribution from sales. With each painting sold, buyers will be donating 30 trees for reforestation and conservation of native forests, mainly located in South America.
Trees are an incredible natural technology, absorbing CO2 from the air and transforming it into O2. A single mature tree can take in about 50 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. To compensate 1 tonne of CO2, 31 to 46 trees are needed.
This is only the beginning!
