1. How and when is your passion for art born?
Well, I do not think it was a precise moment, I think it is something that you bring from a young age, I always remember feeling encouraged by certain things through drawing or the pleasure of seeing details in images or in anything.
Speaking specifically about photography, I remember something: Living in France for a while to learn the language, and one day a friend told us a group of friends, and that if we wanted us to do a casual photo shoot, I liked the result. It seemed cool to me and when I returned to Mexico I did the same, I rented a camera at the university and took photos of my friends. And so, I started taking more and more photos.
2. What does your artistic manifesto consist of and how do you like to express it?
I intend to awaken emotions or ideas in the people who see my work.
There is always a narrative, sometimes stories, sometimes drama or comedy. Other times I just try to show a beautiful image to amaze the viewer.
For a long time I took a photo just for the pleasure, it is something very entertaining.
I had a very long learning process, I would only challenge myself until I felt safe to achieve whatever I wanted to express.
Art makes you feel things, transmits, excites you, you express yourself through it. Many times I wondered if what I was doing was art. Sometimes I keep wondering.
Today I want to awaken positive emotions or ideas to achieve positive changes in people through my world view.
3. When creating, what are your inspirations?
Generally I am inspired by the reality that I see and that I feel. My truth. I am very inspired to achieve more and more and someday to move hearts towards the positive.
4. How do you see the development of feminine art in the world and in your country?
I think it is going very well. We are more and more women expressing themselves through art and there is more and more support.
5. In terms of contingency, what do you think of digitizing art samples like Mia Anywhere?
It seems to me a wise proposal, as well as a forced one. I hope many people feel encouraged to visit places like MIA to consume art and not just focus on social media.
6. What do you think will be the new paradigms in the art world after the pandemic?
I think that as soon as the contingency passes, the exhibitions and artistic events as we know them will return.
There will be a lot of creativity derived from this new human experience and although the current consumption model is changing and the trend is going towards the basics, many consider art as a fundamental part of life, so I think that art consumption will continue and we will see extraordinary things when we get out of this contingency.
7. How do you see the role of Mia Art Collection around the empowerment of feminine art and the democratization of art through digitization?
I am very excited that MIA exists. Since I did my work So Blessed, I have been very interested in platforms that especially support women. I love to know that there are many people interested in promoting talented and passionate women who are only looking to show their work to the world.
Congratulations on this project and your effort.
