He is an ever lover of nature. His paintings show the emotional connections and empathy he has developed for indigenous people, their landscapes, towns, fauna and the outstanding efforts they make to survive in a fast changing world threatening to consume them.
The desire of Mauricio to preserve these people's traditions, honor and life styles through his paintings, inspires him and gives significance to his artwork.

His paintings do not have one single aesthetic tendency, neither he feels engaged with any artistic style or subject matter. He likes to join different pictoric tendencies with the purpose of enhancing the subject matter he decides to paint.
He paints primarily with oil paint but he enjoys the use of watercolor and graphite pencil as well.

Although he is a self taught artist, he acquires his first formal training in art from a Franciscano Monk who not only taught him some artistic techniques, but most importantly, influenced him while transmitting a transcendent and human sense to his pictoric style. Mauricio is always looking for new knowledge to help him grow as a better artist. That is the reason he is open to all true feedback.

Mauricio's artwork irradiates light and beauty and inducts emotions and significance that inspires the viewers to reestablish contact with nature. The colors of his palette and the use of chiaro-obscuro in some of his compositions come from the admiration he feels for the old masters and the French naturalists.

He holds a degree in business from the Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla (UPAEP) and after several years of practice in the business world, he decides to return to his life passion, painting and drawing.

Mauricio has participated in many art shows and his artwork can be found in Mexican, European and American particular collections.

He is member of Oil Painters of America.
