Mexican an Italian Architect and artist. Born in Mexico City in 1965, she graduated in Architecture in 1991. In 2006 she moved to Italy, where she has been working as an Artist. She chose metal as the material for her sculptures, since she used it in her architectural projects. She likes metal because for her it represents strength and character, so she started creating artistic works, by transforming stainless steel, corten steel and aluminum plates into sculptures.
Thanks to the stainless steel and polished aluminum that she uses, her artworks reflect natural and artificial light and blend with the environment, taking its colors as a reflection. The lightness of aluminum allows her aluminum sculptures to move in the wind. Chelita wants to bring joy and light with her artworks.
