Born: Mexico, D.F. 1978

My work often focuses in objects and words. Objects; as a material thing, objects of content, as a purpose. An object is something more immediate. Words and objects travel so far depending on how well we know how to use them. I like to take words, phrases, and sentences and turn them around, ask and wonder why do we use them as much? It is through translation both as meaning, shape and appearance that I find myself constantly working.

In my current work, I am drawn to the language of the un-functional, through sculpture and printmaking, I build
landscapes, seeking to interpret the process of time and man-made consequence. I recreate the composition of objects set aside, read into color codes found in urban settings and follow the natural course of aging materials.

I was born in Mexico City in 1978. I currently reside in NY, although I constantly travel back and forth, with an on-going desire to have a program that involves an interaction of this 2 cities through their artists.

1 year ago I started a project along with Zachary Barnett called Eyelevel BQE; an artist-run exhibition space devoted to providing a unique forum for artists and designers living and working in Brooklyn and Queens, with an open invitation for international artists as well.

The 19th century billiards hall-turned exhibition space provides a beautiful and unexpected alternative to the traditional commercial venues. Driven by the evolution of art in the outer boroughs, EyeLevel BQE enriches its community by providing individual visuals artists and collectives opportunities to challenge and excite their peers.

History
As a collaboration between Victor Osborne and artist Gabriela Alva, these creative minds worked together in order to develop a hat, The Milliner, aided Gabriela on her piece to be presented as a part of her Bronx’s Artist in the Marketplace installation.
A few months later, Gabriela proposed to Victor a series of collaborations in one of his window displays; The first artist to intervene in this window was Amy Beecher, a year passed by, and Victor found his Orchard Street ideal boutique, leaving Eyelevel Project the opportunity to operate in his once beloved Atelier, it was then when Eyelevel BQE was born.
