The themes and content of my artwork keeps me close to my roots, true to my childhood memories, and passionate about the rich culture, folklore, and heritage that my country, Honduras, possesses. I was raised in a family that celebrated and valued Honduran culture and traditions, which developed sentiments of pride and optimism of a better country, one that, despite the insecurity and economic instability, is still rich and abundant. Authentic food, folkloric dances, religious celebrations, stories, and artisan markets have all become synonyms of richness and abundance that I cling to as I find myself in a different culture away from home. My work results in collecting personal memories and experiences to expose the rich, extravagant, and unique country I get to call home through icons and themes of Honduran history and popular lifestyle.
