I was born in Mexico City but migrated to Sydney with my family when I was a young teen. I am a self-taught artist and have been constantly influenced by the worship of colour throughout Mexican culture and have tried to apply it to my view of life in Sydney.
My love of colour and the fact I am colour blind make a very unique juxtaposition. I like to match, contrast and layer colours in different ways trying to challenge not only my colour blindness but that of the viewer of my art.
Most of us share a common colour vision sensory experience. However, in my case, my perception of colour is different from what people see. I have Red-Green colour blindness (Denternomaly). I find it difficult to tell purple from blue, orange from green or dark green from brown, as well as pink from grey.
