My sculpted creatures live at the crossroads of humor, memory, and lived experience. Blending human figures with dogs, homies, duendes, and diablos, the work uses playfulness as a doorway into deeper reflections on survival, loyalty, mischief, and moral duality. These characters feel familiar—like people you’ve met, spirits you’ve heard stories about, or figures that show up when you least expect them.

Dogs represent unconditional presence and loyalty; homies embody community, resilience, and everyday wisdom; duendes carry mischief, mystery, and the unseen forces that shape our lives; diablos reflect temptation, chaos, and the constant negotiation between good and evil. Together, they form a cast of characters that mirrors the complexity of being human—funny, flawed, watchful, and deeply emotional.

Rooted in community storytelling and cultural memory, my creatures draw from street humor, folklore, ritual, and working-class survival. I embrace imperfection—hand marks, texture, and rawness are intentional, honoring process over polish.

Though whimsical on the surface, the sculptures hold lived truths. Humor is not decoration; it is a tool for survival and connection. Each piece invites the viewer to pause, laugh, and reflect—asking how we navigate humanity, temptation, and tenderness while staying connected to one another and to our roots.
