Oil painting titled Dolores y el Cuatro de Espadas by Fer Ricárdez. A temple with warm golden light stands beneath a cloudy sky. In the center, an eye and four floating swords evoke a dreamlike, spiritual vision. The scene feels sacred, quiet, and filled with symbolic tension.

Weeks before going blind from my tumor, I dreamed of #painting this. A friend mentioned a healer in the mountains of Jalisco. The Image on the map was the same temple from my dream. We went. I slept. The next day, I could see again. Later I found the tarot’s Four of Swords: a forced rest.

Oil painting of a desk at night with a laptop showing lines of code, a cup of instant ramen, and programming books. Warm yellow light filters through blinds behind the setup, contrasting with cool tones from the screen, evoking a nostalgic late-night study scene.

Expressionist painting of a semi-skeletal human figure with a visibly twisted spine. The body is turquoise, almost transparent, showing bones in pinks and reds beneath the skin. The skull is exposed with teeth in a grim smile. A black background is cut by diagonal orange bands, suggesting both medical imaging and chaotic energy. The figure appears fragile, crooked, yet defiant

This Land is For Sale
Acrylic, 2024

This painting was inspired by the commodification of land. Based on a photograph I took of my parents while speaking with a land seller, it represents a pivotal decision that ultimately led me into debt for a piece of land just 25 minutes from my hometown.
