He was a founding member of the Rufino Tamayo Workshop in Oaxaca, where he developed a distinct artistic approach emphasizing technical precision and cultural storytelling. His work often blends popular traditions with mythical narratives, employing meticulous use of color, form, and composition to transform folkloric themes into complex artistic statements.
