Oaxaca-based artist who usually intervenes vintage magazines, plastic dolls, books and magazine pages, especially pin-up images of some latin women, is a fervent collector. This hobby helped him to develop a new body of sculptures where he mixes some faces, bodies and limbs of different toys bulding new deities and totems. He also intervened busts of famous musicians, politicians and writers, to distort his features with bumps and defects that undermine the authority projected by the classical sculptures. —Emilio Ocampo
