2025-12-21 Interview on the YouTube channel of the National Museum of World Cultures
I am pleased to share that the National Museum of World Cultures (Museo Nacional de las Culturas del Mundo, MNCM) has published an interview on its YouTube channel in which I speak about the origin of the photographs presented in the exhibition “Mongolia: From the Gobi Desert to the Altai Mountains”.
In this short video, I reflect on the inspiration behind the project and on the experience of photographing Mongolia across its deserts, steppes and mountains. It offers a brief introduction to the ideas and journeys that shaped the exhibition now on view at the museum.
I am grateful to the MNCM for this opportunity to share more about the work and the story behind the images.
2025-11-27 Diplomatic reception at the National Museum of World Cultures
I am honored to share that on November 27, 2025, the National Museum of World Cultures (Museo Nacional de las Culturas del Mundo, MNCM) hosted an official diplomatic reception on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and Mexico.
The evening was held under the auspices of H.E. Batbayar Ulziidelger, Ambassador of Mongolia to the United States of America and Mexico, and included a cultural program featuring a preview of the exhibition “KHUREE TSAM – 108” alongside a celebration of Mongolian heritage.
During the event, I had the privilege of leading a visit of my exhibition “Mongolia: From the Gobi Desert to the Altai Mountains” for H.E. Batbayar Ulziidelger and H.E. Adli Qasem ALKHALEDI, Ambassador of Jordan to Mexico and Central America. It was a meaningful opportunity to present this body of work within a moment dedicated to cultural dialogue, friendship and international exchange.
2025-10-27 Two Bronze Awards at the 2025 Epson International Pano Awards
I am pleased to share that two of my panoramic photographs, “Altiplano Alchemy” and “Anvil Alight”, have received Bronze Awards at the 2025 Epson International Pano Awards. The 2025 edition brought together 3423 entries from 895 photographers across 92 countries, so it is a special privilege to see these images recognized among such a wide field of work.
“Altiplano Alchemy” was created in Bolivia’s Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, a place of thin air, mineral plains and distant volcanoes. At that altitude, every simple action becomes slower and more deliberate. The challenge was to stay with the landscape long enough for its subtle shifts to reveal themselves, and to find a composition that holds both the severity of the environment and its quiet, alchemical play of color.
“Anvil Alight” was made on the Great Plains near Boone, Colorado, under a sky slowly gathering into a storm. In that open country, the horizon feels endless, yet everything is in motion as the weather builds. The difficulty lay in reading the pace of the storm and waiting for the brief instant when the shape of the cloud, the light on the land and the stillness of the foreground found a shared balance.
Both images were conceived with the print in mind and will be available as very limited editions. If you are interested in these works, I invite you to contact me.
2025-08-17 La Jornada highlights “Mongolia: From the Gobi Desert to the Altai Mountains”
Mexico’s national daily La Jornada featured my exhibition “Mongolia: From the Gobi Desert to the Altai Mountains” at the National Museum of World Cultures (Museo Nacional de las Culturas del Mundo, MNCM) in Mexico City. Their preview announced the opening in the Antigua Sala de Monolitos and described how the display immerses visitors in nomadic life. The piece notes that the exhibition is part of the sixtieth anniversary program of the museum and was organized with the Embassy of Mongolia in Washington, D.C. and the Consulate of Mongolia in Mexico.

A follow-up feature included an interview about the project and the three-week fieldwork across Mongolia, from camel caravans in the Gobi Desert to eagle hunter communities in the Altai. It also situated the exhibition within the celebration of fifty years of diplomatic relations between Mexico and Mongolia.
Presented at Moneda 13 in the Centro Histórico, the exhibition brings together more than two dozen photographs that explore the textures of nomadic and sedentary traditions across Mongolia’s steppes, mountains, and deserts. Admission is free.
2025-08-14 Cultural Envoy of Mongolia Award
I am deeply honored to share that I have been presented with the Cultural Envoy of Mongolia Award by Gankhuyag Natsag, Cultural Envoy of Mongolia. This recognition celebrates my photography that seeks to capture and promote the culture, landscapes, and spirit of Mongolia.
Receiving this award is especially meaningful, as Mongolia has been a source of inspiration for much of my recent work. I am grateful for the opportunity to share its beauty with a wider audience, and I look forward to continuing this journey of storytelling through images.
2025-08-14 Opening at the National Museum of World Cultures
I am honored to share that my exhibition “Mongolia: From the Gobi Desert to the Altai Mountains” opened on August 14, 2025 at the National Museum of World Cultures (Museo Nacional de las Culturas del Mundo, MNCM) in Mexico City.
The opening reception was attended by diplomats from Mongolia, Mexico and other countries, as well as representatives of the INAH, museum authorities and artist Gankhuyag Natsag, Cultural Envoy of Mongolia. The event marked not only the presentation of the exhibition but also the celebration of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and Mexico.
Among the dignitaries present were the ambassadors of the United States, Romania and Libya in Mexico, Ronald Johnson, Marius Gabriel Lazurca and Sana El Mansouri, along with representatives of the diplomatic corps of Cuba, Spain and Portugal. Their presence underscored the importance of cultural exchange and the spirit of international friendship that this exhibition represents.
The opening ceremony included remarks from José Luis Perea González, Technical Secretary of the INAH, who emphasized that photography not only documents but also tells stories that connect cultures. Alejandra Gómez Colorado, Director of the MNCM, highlighted that this is the first exhibition dedicated to Mongolia ever presented at the museum and described it as the beginning of a journey of discovery into the culture of that vast Asian country.
In his words, Gankhuyag Natsag reflected that the exhibition celebrates the beauty, culture and spirit of Mongolia, and that events like this one “open new doors to friendship and cooperation through the universal language of art.”
Presented under the patronage of the Honorary Consul of Mongolia in Mexico, Enrique Arturo Gutiérrez López Portillo, and the Embassy of Mongolia in Washington, D.C., the exhibition features 25 photographs. The works capture the grandeur of Mongolia’s landscapes, from the vast dunes of the Gobi to the rugged Altai Mountains and the sweeping steppes, as well as the nomadic peoples who have lived in harmony with camels, horses and eagles for centuries.
I was deeply touched to hear reflections from the curatorial team and cultural representatives, and it is a profound honor to share the results of my journeys through Mongolia’s deserts, mountains and steppes in this historic setting.
The exhibition is on view until March 29, 2026 in the Antigua Sala de Monolitos of the MNCM.
