With these creations, I try to elaborate my own language, through the personal reinterpretation about some  myths, legends and characters associated with sexuality in pre-Columbian societies and which are embodied in some chronicles  and  into  some ancient codices,  that survived the cultural extermination;  my work is inspired as well on diverse studies of various archaeologists and anthropologists such as: Sylvia Matos, Miriam López Hernández, Noemi Quezada, Patrick Johansson, Atahualpa Húntar, Guillen Olivier, etc.
