24 × 30 inches, Oil on Jute, 2025
Framed to 28 × 34 inches
The Compartment series bridges my practices in painting and drawing, translating a single concept across two distinct material languages. It began with a foundational drawing—an idea about form and identity captured in the precision of archival ink. That same idea is now re-explored on raw jute, where the architectural line gives way to the texture of handmade oil paints.
Each piece is a meditation on the spaces we inhabit—between cultures, memories, and materials. It is a dialogue between the controlled gesture of the pen and the fluid expression of the brush, each medium offering a different perspective on the interplay between structure and the self.
Entre los Costales (Among the Sacks) delves into a childhood memory from Mexico, where the coarse jute of horse feed sacks defined both playful spaces and daily rituals. The raw jute canvas directly echoes these textiles, grounding the painting in a sense of place and the simple joy of feeding horses. It's a tactile memory of being nestled, literally and figuratively, amidst the comforting weight of family.
