Studies[edit]
He studied optometry at the Superior School of Medicine Instituto Politécnico Nacional, IPN . He later studied for a master's degree in Theology at the Universidad Iberoamericana.

Creative career[edit]
In his youth he made trips to the city of Oaxaca, and the artisan and visual arts culture of that state influenced his closeness to the world of art. In his work of collage and painting, he approaches pop art, and naif art.
