Obelleiro Studio
A virtual studio space showcasing current and past works, ongoing projects, and curricular experiments.
Current Projects
Daily Illustrations
Trying to capture the everyday experience of parenting through quick 1-2 sitting drawings using whatever media is available at home.
Painted Snapshots
Attempts to capture togetherness, solitude, grief, and other transient experiences.
Pandemic Painting
Using oil paint, lavender spike, linseed oil, and walnut oil, I have been creating washy oil paintings based on archival family photographs, news media, and domestic routines and rituals during the pandemic.
Family Archives
I have often turned to analog photography for source material, especially images from family archives. As a fifth generation Mexican-American, so much of my maternal family history is missing from public records. By using our family photographs to piece together stories through artworks, I am attempting to create a collective narrative and preserve what went undocumented during the last five generations.
Sketchbook Collections & Unfinished Works
These works represent experiments and thought processes in my practice. The pieces are gestures that could be read as finished works or footnotes for future pieces.
