Zero Gravity
2023, oil on canvas, 48 x 60

Star surfing through the galaxy with her head still in the clouds.

This piece took me approximately 5 months to complete, and as it goes with any of my paintings, it’s my favorite at the moment.

There are levels in life that are more difficult to complete than initially imagined. As a kid I used to say I wanted to be a videogame designer (still on the table.) There was nothing more comforting than turning on one of my consoles and escaping into the alternate reality with endless possibilities. I think many can relate to the feeling of euphoria when faced with the character selection screen and getting to pick the magical fantasy character that resonates with you the most. In certain cases, the overwhelming shame + dysphoria when either taunted or not allowed to be that fantasy figure. These are some of my earliest expansive memories of feeling very different.

What I find most interesting is the correlation between those core moments and how they are early reminders of who we come to be later in life. Our tender selves are usually on a mission—with a purpose. We encounter obstacles that try to steer us, maybe even put us to a halt, but one thing about video games: the time comes where our hard work leads us to defeat the final boss. All of your effort is seen, and all it takes is that extra push to come out on top. The reward may be unclear at first, but the grandest is the feeling of keeping your faith no matter what.

A reminder that no matter how rough things get: you will always be that fantasy girl flying through the galaxy, on a mission to catch the stars, with infinite potential and love all around you.

Thank you to my friends @littlebugfactory and @nelson.maii for helping photograph this, making a dream come true.

Atrapada (Con ganas de salir)
2025, oil on canvas, 60 x 60 inches

I was walking through the city last year, feeling lonely as I usually did. I happened to feel this way wherever I went, even in the company of others. Sometimes I feel so trapped in my own head, looking for distractions to escape. I closed my eyes, and in that instant I saw myself as Princess Peach in Super Mario Bros, trapped in her bubble trying to get back into the game.

What I found most fascinating about this concept is that in the game, when you die while playing multiplayer, you come back in a bubble, and your partner has to pop you to continue playing. You swing your remote up and down to get closer to your friend. Then suddenly you pop. You’re back and running like nothing ever happened.  

I feel like this year I’ve experienced constant self crucifixion and resurrection. Feeling like I have to pick myself up from those low moments. But I realize I often can’t do it alone, and its my friends that bring me back to life, reminding me of my power.

I had recurrently felt trapped in a void, feeling like I’m screaming and no ones listening. Songs that come to mind when I’ve felt like this are “What Now” by Rihanna and “Anyone” by Demi Lovato. I got my sad girl playlist that lets me feel those emotions. But then I make a playlist about coming back to life. Life surprises you constantly and its hard to get a grasp of clarity or what to do next. And thats okay. (cont.)

The fourth, and for now, the last of my skies.

currently on view and available for purchase @twin.thatswhatineed

When its just you and God. You’re asking for help, for a sign, and you really want to feel it in your presence.

This painting is based off a sunset I had experienced outside of my family’s home in Mexico. Everyday the sky changes, and I had never seen it carry so much dimension before, as if the clouds themselves were stars making up the atmosphere while we anticipate the night fall.

i’ve always thought of these skies as both portraits and mirrors. When you look at them you’re looking at yourself in all your vast forms, simultaneously looking at everyone else while staring into the infinite.

I hope they bring you a sense of peace and persistence despite any difficulties life may bring. We’re in it together.

❤️

BolsterArts (New York, NY) presents Chris Cortez, a Mexican artist based in New York whose “Bajo la Misma Luna” series of sky paintings is derived from an ongoing archive of photographs she collects while traveling to her family hometown, Joaquín Camaño, Mexico. Cortez’s restraint, light suspended, time stalled, invokes longing and nostalgia without collapsing into sentimentality. The clouds pull against the sky as light breaks through, a threshold, a moment just before something happens or just after it has passed. Referencing the film “Bajo la Misma Luna”, Cortez frames the sky as a tether, a shared structure we can look to when care is stretched across borders.

¿y esta rosa?
2025, oil on canvas, 15 x 30 inches

the passion of a rose. the miraculous growth and inevitable decay. as I created this painting, I was thinking about the death of my grandfather in 2020. I was in Mexico in 2021 for his cabo de año, in which everyone from my mothers hometown congregated at my grandmothers house and prayed in unison for his soul. His altar was adorned with hundreds of flowers, red roses in particular, many of which were brought in our procession to the cemetery, where my dad offered me and the caballeros a shot of tequila. I had captured many images, knowing that I wanted to create a painting based off this memory, and when the time came to it, there wasnt any direct depiction symbolic enough to describe the altering nature of this event.

I decided to paint a single rose, on a flesh toned background. im interested in universal symbolism, images that connect us all, and encapsulate the spectrum of human emotions. a rose can bring about feelings of both love and grief. those times you’re flirting with a lover, those times your friends and family come out to cheer you on, to the moments after you’ve left this earth, and your loved ones remember to leave roses on top of your body, which was once living, but similarly to a rose—energy that returns to the earth. a spirit that lives forever.

Very thankful to have shown this painting @kapowgallery with @bolsterarts last month, and I love that this piece acts as the perfect introduction for whats to come with my work this next year. Words I liked to describe my vibe last year were: timeless, elegant, chic, and we’re amping those up even more this time around. Sending so much love always, and so much strength.

¿y esta rosa?
2025, oil on canvas, 15 x 30 inches

the passion of a rose. the miraculous growth and inevitable decay. as I created this painting, I was thinking about the death of my grandfather in 2020. I was in Mexico in 2021 for his cabo de año, in which everyone from my mothers hometown congregated at my grandmothers house and prayed in unison for his soul. His altar was adorned with hundreds of flowers, red roses in particular, many of which were brought in our procession to the cemetery, where my dad offered me and the caballeros a shot of tequila. I had captured many images, knowing that I wanted to create a painting based off this memory, and when the time came to it, there wasnt any direct depiction symbolic enough to describe the altering nature of this event.

I decided to paint a single rose, on a flesh toned background. im interested in universal symbolism, images that connect us all, and encapsulate the spectrum of human emotions. a rose can bring about feelings of both love and grief. those times you’re flirting with a lover, those times your friends and family come out to cheer you on, to the moments after you’ve left this earth, and your loved ones remember to leave roses on top of your body, which was once living, but similarly to a rose—energy that returns to the earth. a spirit that lives forever.

Very thankful to have shown this painting @kapowgallery with @bolsterarts last month, and I love that this piece acts as the perfect introduction for whats to come with my work this next year. Words I liked to describe my vibe last year were: timeless, elegant, chic, and we’re amping those up even more this time around. Sending so much love always, and so much strength.
