Read MoreAA: Let’s talk about the art scene in Mexico City.
How does it compare to Brooklyn? Are there things about the scene in CDMX that excite you in ways Brooklyn didn’t, or is there something you miss about the creative energy back in New York?
TH: It’s always a mix. Nothing will ever be like New York so I’ve really tried to stop comparing New York to anywhere I go. My boyfriend founded an art fair in Mexico City called Material, he exposes me to a lot of cool artists and shows that I wouldn’t normally seek out on my own. As an artist myself and with a friend group of mostly artists from all parts of Latin and South America, I will say the cool thing about being an artist in Mexico City is the life that you can build for yourself with some moderate success. It seems like most of my friends are visual artists, designers, tattoo artists, photographers, hair stylists, musicians, drag queens, you name it…supporting yourself with your art, being able to live modestly in an apartment by yourself and not stress about going out to dinner with your friends once or twice a week really makes for a nice life.
Read MoreMy work is highly guided by these experiences I have with NYC and cities across the world, from Tokyo to Cairo, it’s like a color, a sound, or the energy in general I pick up can turn into a Painting. For example, we recently took a trip to Fifth Avenue, to view the iconic windows at Bergdorf Goodman’s and interestly enough some of the main color influences in the windows were colors I have used in recent work. I mean, it’s a coincidence, one might say, but what it signifies to me is that I am on a creative flow that is somehow connected to a signal that’s being broadcast to me, intuitively, and I find satisfaction in that. It means that I truly am absorbing my experiences on a subconscious level and turning them into Art.
Read MoreSitting on my balcony every morning with my coffee and breakfast, I’d wait for the models to arrive, ready to capture them in the studio. Those moments—quiet, creative, and full of anticipation—defined my time in London. The collages that came out of this trip are deeply personal, yet they’re a testament to the universal magic of London. They combine faces, places, and moments into a chaotic yet cohesive whole that mirrors the city itself.
Each collage, its own story within the larger narrative of my London journey. Take your time. Get lost in them, just as I got lost in London.

Read MoreFew things capture the spirit of New York City during the holidays quite like the Bergdorf Goodman Fifth Avenue windows. This year’s theme, “Toast of the Town,” is a sparkling homage to the iconic city itself, celebrating its landmarks, energy, and the glamour that makes NYC the capital of dreams.
Read MoreArt isn’t just something you see—it’s something you can feel, smell, and immerse yourself in. That’s the premise behind this new triptych project, an installation inspired by the three scents of my handcrafted incense: No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3.

Read MoreWhat is Yellow? Not as a color swatch on a paint tube but as a feeling, a memory, a texture. The challenge wasn’t just to use yellow, but to see it—feel it—and translate that sensation onto the canvas.
