Exhibitions, openings, and recognition.

I am honored to share that on June 17, 2026, my solo exhibition “Mongolia: From the Gobi Desert to the Altai Mountains” formally opened at the Regional Museum of Nayarit (Museo Regional de Nayarit, MRN) in Tepic, Mexico.

Following its presentation at the National Museum of World Cultures in Mexico City, where it welcomed more than 184,000 visitors, the exhibition arrived in Nayarit as the first stop on its itinerary through northwestern Mexico.

I had the privilege of cutting the ribbon alongside Israel Camuesco Sáinz de la Maza, Acting Head of the Cultural Heritage Directorate of the State Council for Culture and the Arts of Nayarit; Bertha Lilia Arce López, Director General of the State Council for Culture and the Arts of Nayarit; and Othón Quiroga García, Director of the INAH Nayarit Center.

As part of the opening, I spoke with the people of Nayarit about my travels through Mongolia and shared the creative process behind the work, from capturing the photographs to developing the final images.

The exhibition brings together 25 large-format photographs and two infographics exploring Mongolia’s vast landscapes, ancestral traditions, and nomadic ways of life. I am deeply grateful to the museum, the INAH, and the cultural authorities of Nayarit for welcoming this work and creating a space for dialogue between cultures.

On March 19, 2026, the National Museum of World Cultures (Museo Nacional de las Culturas del Mundo, MNCM) in Mexico City hosted a special Cultural Day of Mongolia in Mexico, bringing together photography and cinema in a program dedicated to Mongolian culture.

The afternoon began with a guided visit to my exhibition “Mongolia: From the Gobi Desert to the Altai Mountains” in the Antigua Sala de Monolitos of the MNCM. I had the pleasure of leading the visit and sharing more about the photographs, the journeys behind them, and the landscapes and communities that shaped this body of work.

During the visit, Alejandra Gómez Colorado, Director of the MNCM, and Enrique Arturo Gutiérrez López Portillo, Honorary Consul of Mongolia in Mexico, gave remarks to those in attendance.

The program continued with a screening of El viaje de Ainur (2024), directed by Iris Pakulla, at the House of the First Printing Press in the Americas (Casa de la Primera Imprenta de América, UAM). The screening was accompanied by a panel discussion with Iris Pakulla, Miguel Vázquez, Antonio Zirión, and me.

Presented in collaboration with the Embassy of Mongolia in the United States and the Consulate of Mongolia in Mexico, the event offered a meaningful opportunity to share Mongolian culture through photography, film, and conversation.

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. I was also pleased to share the occasion with Gankhuyag Natsag, Cultural Envoy of Mongolia. It was a meaningful opportunity to present this body of work within a moment dedicated to cultural dialogue, friendship and international exchange.

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.

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.

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 featured 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.

I’m delighted to share that the opening reception for the exhibition DANCE – Choreographed Photography at the Duncan Miller Gallery in Los Angeles on August 2, 2025 was a wonderful success. The event featured two performances by Clyde Evans, Jr., Director of Education at the International Museum of Dance, which beautifully brought the spirit of the photographs to life while engaging the audience.

As part of this exhibition, I am honored that two of my works, “Voladores: Dancing in the Sky” and “No Parking, Just Tango”, are held in the permanent collection of the International Museum of Dance in San Francisco. Both pieces were exhibited in Los Angeles as part of this special collaboration between the Museum and the Gallery.

DANCE brings together over 35 acclaimed fine-art photographers whose work captures the ephemeral nature of dance, celebrating its power, grace, and cultural depth.
