He is, no doubt, one of the most complete and complex painters of his generation. Listening to him talk about some of his paintings, I realized that there wasn’t any arbitrary saturation of structures, characters and objects, but an obsessive and astonishing reflection on art history, the pictorial work and reality itself. Each brushstroke of his paintings has been put there for a specific reason, although every one of them has thousands and thousands of brushstrokes. The fantastic constructions that so often are included in his pictorial works, be it in his series dedicated to the libraries or the ones inspired by museums, are true installations inside the pictorial space and, by the way, one of the most incessant installations ever seen in the Mexican art scope.
