CAMBODIA
On invitation of TheSk8Room (Bruxelles) I went to Cambodia to give some workshops with the Cambodian youth and the people from Skateistan, Combodia.
As Mexico, as Africa, this was a short trip, but I got the chance to paint on the tower of the school of PSE (Pour un sourire d'enfant), Phnom Penh.
Because we spend two days before in the jungle near by Vietnam I choose to paint a firefly. The firefly is because of the light pollution threatened in her existence and has a great importance for they produce with there lower body a yellow/green luminescent light, and communicate with their light flashes with each other. Researchers are observing them for a cancer resource and claiming they would could kill cancer cells.
During our two days stay in the forrest we visit Kep, a small town near by Vietnam, that once functioned as the French Riviera of Cambodia.
The left behind villas witnessing this former wealth. The villas became destroyed in the time of the Kmer Rouge and nowadays they are shelters for homeless people and for roaming animals.

This April I was invited by the “Collectivo Tomate” to paint a mural on a recovery project Xanenetla neighborhood, a neighborhood with lots of history to Mexico in the city of Puebla. It was a good opportunity to return to Mexico.
”Elotl” in pre-Hispanic Nahuatl language, corn (maize cob) is the staple food of this nation, I wanted to join the idea of how strong the family is here, making each grain a person or animal, as a unit of a set. For some time I kept this idea to represent Mexico.
This mural I want to dedicate to all neighbors of Xanenetla and especially my grandmother and my friend Raul (Carcomedhi) who are going through difficult times.
To thank Paola, collective Tomato, all members of the Collective, Laura Youth Institute of Puebla, Puebla Bauhaus school, all the artists who participated in the project and all the neighbors of someso are contributors to this mural and many others who were in the neighborhood. Gracias!
