ANGELICA CONTRERAS
Surrounded by a child of Eastern aesthetics and taste for American popular culture, discusses the world with irony. Everything appears to be peaceful but with a bittersweet and tragic background at a time. The colors and shapes remind us of childhood, essentially that of a child. His characters, both geishas, children, animals, strange beings or sumo wrestlers are outside their natural environment, to move to a surreal where the essential is to survive, because as to the nature, not everything is rosy .
