Germinating Inner Strength, 2025

Acrylic on canvas

20" x 16"

"The world changes. Our surroundings bring complexities and challenges that test our mettle. And it is precisely from this that my work is born, from this reflection of questioning myself: what keeps me going? Where does this love for life come from? And how am I going to adapt to face these challenges? The answer lies within. The cactus (nopal) adapts to extreme situations; it grows beautifully and strongly; its fruits are delicious. Such is my heart, which germinates, adapts, strengthens, and continues to generate that light that illuminates my steps."Artwork was returned to the artist following the exhibition.
