  Hola my friend!Today I wanted to share this papercut with you, the title is Self-Contained. This piece will be at Couturier Gallery in September of this year. Lots of ideas came to my mind when I was creating this piece.  When my brother came to visit us we enjoyed the luxury of having long conversations. We talked about so many things. Talking with my brother is a gift to me because we have the exact same background; we come from

• El Corazon (Heart)

  I remember reading something like this somewhere: "The heart is the only broken instrument that works" I liked this idea because it is so true. Thinking about this idea is how I started developing the piece below titled El Corazon.  Nothing makes you grow more than the process of healing a broken heart. I lost track of how many times my heart has been broken over the years, but at this point in my life and after experiencing pain in

      I love the way the "fur" came out in this piece.   I had to pock soooooooo many little holes on the paper to create this effect! But I am happy that I did it. I think that it adds so much dimension to the surface.  The two pictures above make me smile :)Because the tiny illuminated freckles remind me of Christmas!Yay!! They make me really happy :)The paper is not glued to the background, instead, it's suspended between two piecesof glass to create the shadows.It looks really special in person :)

       Here is a sweet girl greeting her tiny bird in the morning.The first picture looks flat because it is a scan, but the way the piece looks in person is like in the last 2 pictures.The paper was embossed from the back with my wooden tools to achieve that nice volume. I love the tiny vignette underneath the girl, that's a detail that I would love to use in other pieces as well.I carefully glued this papercut
