Mexican Feast is a celebration on Mexican culture through it´s gastronomy and it´s tradition in handcrafts. In this series I bring this two worlds together in compositions that mix the edible with the imaginary. As a Mexican born photographer, the influence of color, textures, bright lights and handmade stuff are an important part of my style. In this images I juxtapose Mexican food platters and ingredients with traditional handcrafts and recognizable everyday local props.

In these images I combine different artisan techniques: from Alebrijes or Huichol referenced beads to piñatas, sarapes and handcrafted tableware. They all come together in a reach feast as a homage to some of my most loved things in Mexico.

Alebrijes are are traditional and colorful Mexican art sculpture commonly portraying fantastical creatures and natural elements that are often modular. In this image I integrated some of these handcrafted pieces, representing cactus, birds and flowers with a green icecream in a unique new piece of art.

In this image I used "sarapes", a typical Mexican fabric used in shawls, to wrap the tacos. Some cacti dressing, limes and red chiles complete this tasty meal.
