That is why its inhabitants call it the monster city: \u201cI\u2019ve had to put up with it, I\u2019ve had to live it, I\u2019ve had to feel it&#8230; and sometimes, I\u2019ve hated it, because Mexico City is a city without pedestrians&#8230; and I am a pedestrian&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> This look\u2019s approach is placed between the universe of the enthusiasm and the overflowing excitement that the city causes, where One and All dissolve and cancel each other to finally define themselves in the context of what Mexico City means. Uncovering its unfathomable mysteries is one of the purposes of this project. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a onclick=\"xcollapse('X8058');return false;\" href=\"#\">Curriculum Vitae<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"X8058\" style=\"display: none; background: transparent;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> His media is painting related with public spaces and image technologic media.
