1 Deseo por México

Este 1ro de Julio DESEO que salgas a votar. Pongamos de moda la participación ciudadana, pongamos en tendencia el ejercer nuestro derecho al voto y que el accesorio más importante sea la mancha en tu dedo después de votar. Deseo, como todos, o como la mayoría, un mejor país, con más oportunidades, menos corrupción y mayor democracia. Este 1ro de Julio, los partidos y los candidatos pueden dividir al país, pero sí todos votamos, todos somos México y seremos una unidad indivisible. Deseo que votes, es mi deseo, es el deseo de México.

A wish for the President

In the latest edition of Zona Maco, Mexican contemporary art fair, I invite the visitors to write a wish for Lic. Felipe Calderón Hinojosa President of Mexico. Here is Iliana Furlong writing his wish.


Miguel de la Madrid, son of former Mexican President Miguel de la Madrid, also wrote his wish. This action took place at the booth of the contemporary art magazine Caviar Izquierda.

The Wish Project @ Caviar Izquierda

In the second issue of contemporary art Mexican magazine Caviar Izquierda there is an aktion by me. Where I ask the readers of the magazine to write three wishes in a piece of paper, burn it and then mail it to me. The idea is to remember them that the act of wishing is the beginning of a reality change.

Three Wishes at the Museum of Moder Art -Mexico

Last wednesday, September 29th, was the annual auction at the Museo de Arte Moderno of Mexico Vivo Foundation. Here I present, for the first time, the portraits I did early this year of young guys after I asked them to make a wish. Each one is holding a simple object that individuals use to make a wish. From left to right, Pablo has a coin, Johann a "wish bone" and José 12 grapes.

I wish in Sitges

Last weekend, late July, I went to Sitges. One of the prettiest beach town in the world. I made a wish, as I always do, after I leave a post-it with the word of wish in Catalan.

The everyday life in Barcelona/ La vida Cotidiana en Barcelona

Love num. 4

I did this painting in my studio of Mexico City in early fall of the 2009, it is acrylic on Canvas. Then it was shown in a group show at Terreno Baldio Gallery along with some of my photos and the work from artists such as Héctor Velázquez, Iván Krassoievitch, Anette Kuhn, Moncho, among others, the show was called "Arte Pequeño". Now this painting belongs to my dear friend Sergio Magaña.

TWP @ San Miguel de Allende

I visited this beautiful colonial town, located 3 hours away from Mexico City, for the wedding of one of my best friends, Mexican fashion designer Alexia Ulibarri, who also studied at Central St. Martins, as well as I did. And she married Sebastian Tonda with whom I studied secondary school @ Colegio Madrid in Mexico City. Destiny played a quite important character this time, right? After walking around the town I fount this public phone with an amazing red wall and I put my post-it and made a wish. This was for my friends.
