Meet the Artist

Born in Mexico City in 1978, he spends most of his life between Querétaro and the State of Baja California Sur, from a very young age he began his curiosity and admiration for art, taking him on his own initiative to innumerable visits to museums and galleries. In his creative search, he began a short career in carpentry with his father and it is there where he considers that he acquired the love and appreciation of different materials and their transformation. Sometime later he studied architecture in the city of Querétaro, a city that he would eventually leave to move to the small town of Todos Santos, where the dusty streets of destiny would lead him to work as an assistant at the Galería de Todos Santos, where his passion for art was born. Soon after, and after his insistence, he began his apprenticeship under the wing of his teacher and friend Michael Cope, with whom to date he shares a studio ” My life in the arts is something like being in the right place at the right time” “My work is like another language and it intends to create a dialog with the viewer and go from a visual experience to an emotional response, to evoke a memory, a thought, a dream. At the end is the viewer who will dictate the limits with his own experience. “

Erick spends his time between his studio and the streets of Todos Santos on a mural or as a volunteer teaching painting and drawing to the children of his community. Erick is also a member of the board of directors of The Palapa Society of Todos Santos A.C. A nonprofit that provides educational opportunities to the youth of his community.
