Meet the Artist:

A community-based, interdisciplinary artist, his practice intersects writing, performance, and collective work from a situated and radically tender perspective. He is a short story writer and playwright, as well as a stage director and producer, articulating his discourse through research and management of liminal processes at the intersection of art, science, and society. From this foundation, he constructs theatrical, visual, and literary experiences that seek to inhabit the commons, activate emotions, and, from a shared human dimension, generate dialogue within communities.

Among his achievements are the San Luis Potosí State Youth Award, the Manuel José Othón Literature Prize, the Gold Medal at the International Greenwich Olympiad (for socio-artistic research consulting), and six publications with various publishing houses such as El Milagro, Ponciano Arriaga, and Momo. He is currently a producer at Panteón 19, where he promotes artistic projects with a community focus and a culture of peace. He believes art should feel like a Sofia Coppola film: intimate, everyday, and so revolutionary that it can find beauty and meaning in the seemingly simple, and transform the ordinary into something worthy of care.

Currently, for the OST, he is collaborating with David García, Montserrat Padilla, and Leonardo Cureño, artists from Escena: Escuela de Animación y Arte Digital (Scene: School of Animation and Digital Art), on the development of pieces that combine illustration techniques, literature, and social research focused on the context of Todos Santos.
