AFB: Presently I am doing a series on the human figure that I've wanted to do since I was young; I've always liked the human form so I am starting to develop that a little more. In Mexico there are many taboos concerning nudity, it is automatically categorized as pornography. With my work I want to protest that nudity is not pornographic and that it can be artistic. I use the human figure as my principal theme because to me it is the best subject in the world to paint. I paint in a realist style because in Mexico right now abstract and installation conceptual art is everywhere and other forms of contemporary art are being neglected. Here the museums follow the latest trends and impermanent art is what is popular so I use the realist style almost as a form of protest or a way to defend realist and classical styles of art.
