The stone carving process is utterly slow and demanding of patience. Even the simplest of stone sculptures can take months, sometimes even years to create. It all starts with the rough shaping, followed by hours and hours of sanding until ready for polishing. Stones are natural substances that have been slowly created with the passing of years, as a combination of minerals. I consider them to be oldest of souls, with lots of history in their veins.

Every stone is different, even if they come from the same area. Their shapes, colors, and even smell as you carve into them are different. It's as if to say each has its own delicate spirit. As a Mexican artist, I'd like to think the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica somehow still influence my work subconsciously.
