EL NACHO
Life has its way of interpreting itself
Being alive is learning to understand it
To enjoy it is to have come to find your way of understanding it
The step to take between being and enjoying
It is enduring the blows that it gives you without having surrendered to it.
El Nacho, originally from Mexico City, studied Fine Arts at OCAD University (Ontario University of Art and Design) from 2004 to 2010.
Since then, he worked on his paintings, series of notebooks and artist books in his studio, print shop and gallery – Casa Ballena in San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur.
