When I create my pours, my lived experiences naturally surface through the movement of the paint. While traveling in Mazatlán, I had the opportunity to experience a new friend sharing both his talent and a tradition—Café en Fuego, meaning “coffee on fire.” The ritual, the warmth, and the energy of that moment stayed with me. This piece is my interpretation of that experience, translated into fluid motion, rich metallic tones, and the feeling of heat, connection, and discovery.
