A short show of early drawings made during my first few months in Mexico City — from botanical studies on recycled paper to symbolic forms on raw canvas. Hope to see you there.

Big thanks to @kaypeetza for designing the fliers ✨

Artist Statement

My work moves fluidly between disciplines, bridging the worlds of art, design, and urban space. Rooted in a deep appreciation for movement and environment, I see the built world as a living canvas—one shaped by history, culture, and the traces we leave behind. Influenced by my early experiences in skateboarding and graffiti, I developed an instinct for navigating and reinterpreting cityscapes, an approach that continues to inform my practice today.

Through murals, digital art, mixed-media design, and photography, I explore the relationships between form, rhythm, and spatial storytelling. My work often plays with abstraction, layering, and bold composition, reflecting both the energy of urban environments and the quiet moments within them. Years spent working in sign painting, industrial design, and creative direction deepened my understanding of materiality and placemaking, allowing me to merge artistic intuition with functional design.

Now, as the founder of 3.wrks, I have fully embraced a multidisciplinary practice that balances public and personal work. Whether creating large-scale murals, immersive installations, or gallery pieces, my goal remains the same: to transform space and perspective. My work invites viewers to engage with their surroundings in new ways—drawing connections between the past and present, the structural and organic, the seen and the unseen.
