Mexico Chic
The characters in each work come to life recreating surreal scenes, where each one emerges as a kind of anti hero and protagonist of a story that builds and destroys at the same time, there are no laws of physics or the theory of color, proportion or perspective, they are alchemists, they are magicians, they are astronomers, they collect stars or insects, and they write and tell their stories with their own codes by means of texts or musical notes.
Each work opens a window where mind and magic come together, in a time space in history, these characters are parallel lines where the artist takes his raw material (color and inspiration) and refuses to immerse himself in the ocean of the real world, determines that, alone, in the studio, with the colors and brushes it is time to break the window of prudence in art and decides to jump.
MAGIC
They are on the move, they seek, but cannot find they want ... on wheels, bicycles or magical vehicles, what they enjoy is the journey, the landscape and the experience. Music and poetry, magical structures and extraordinary constructions appear in their wake, maps or routes are dictated with the stroke of the brush and color.
Mexico Chic
With a great inspiration from the Psychomagia of the Master Alejandro Jodorowsky, in a creative and therapeutic process that combines the rites of shamans with theater and psychoanalysis, to provoke a catharsis, the artist ROA makes constant trips to different memories, with a great influence of his father who is a Geologist engineer and his first encounters with nature and the elements that compose it and his great love for his country. This is reflected in the color, scenes and traditions of his country, pre-Hispanic and current, that combine to give rise to his speech.
