in this desert
what the eye sees, not who is looking: skies, paint, pages and night. images come into focus as you reach them; tap any image to open it.
sol, me tomas
me quemas
Looking up. The sun behind cloud, power lines over the alley, a cross against a grey sky. The first room of the archive is the sky.
Below: the camera roll. Swipe or scroll sideways.
from "oda al sol", Burning
the doors of perception
open only when resonated
Rooftops and lounges: smooth, melodic progressive house and Balearic chillout. Long sets with warm basslines and clear melodic arcs, for hotel terraces and high-end bars.
The underground: techno, trip hop and industrial sounds for late-night floors. Weight, grit and hypnotic repetition over spectacle.
Either way: mood and movement first.

i left handprints
the color of you
Painting from a Mexican American border identity: the tensions and textures of the border in a post-Informalist, abstract expressionist language.
Large paintings and mixed media with layered surfaces and restrained symbols; roadside shrines, milagros and Catholic images, never literal. Underneath is a quiet, mystical sense of ritual, repetition and the space between the sacred and the profane.

BURNING
the useless,
purifying burning
Burning is about occult magic, the Catholic eye, the mind jewel, and the color of my skin under the summer sun.
Burning is a dream haze brought on by cold lofts and the odor of spray paint drying.
