He uses a mix of traditional and digital media to create narrative pictures. His painting work draws inspiration from family stories of old Mexico, ghostly encounters and immigration.

As a first-generation immigrant often existing between cultures, his work uses the supernatural as a metaphor to visually represent that existence.'
