Many of you have asked that I speak on my videos and share what inspires me as an artist. This video contains some of the very things that fuel my passion to create.

Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is far more than just face paint, sugar skulls, nail designs and/or a Halloween costumes. It is a rich and traditional custom we use to honor nuestros muertos (our deceased).

It is a celebration of life through death. It is paying homage to their memory and legacy. The time, heart, intention, story and love behind these altars make them beyond inspirational and beautiful.

I celebrated the beauty of these altars with a heart filled with pride and adoration for the people that created such brilliance in the shadow of their loved ones death. We are resilient human beings, and the certainty of life and death is a common- connecting thread we all share.

I am inspired by many things. The transition of life into death; dark to light. I find inspiration in things most would find saddening. I am also inspired by my culture and traditions, along with other cultures and their own customs. Women are definitely another great and endless source of inspiration; their essence, their faces, their beauty.

Other creative insight about me is that I like my solitude. I am an introvert with elite social skills, but in the end... I'm just a loner that likes to create.

If you liked this video, rate and comment... I'll be sure to post more.
