A self-taught visual artist, Mauricio Silerio is influenced by the expressionist and surrealist movements that have left an important mark on contemporary Mexican art.

The visual language used in his work masterfully incorporates traditional pictorial techniques together with new technologies applied to the visual arts. His photographs, treated with digital retouching tools, create a particular look at feelings, spirituality, myths and beliefs.

The series of images Celebración de la vida that Mauricio exhibits, refers to one of the most popular traditions of Mexicans, because it addresses death as a complementary part of life. Its origin is found in pre-Hispanic cultures, where death meant the evolution towards the eternal. For this reason, we observe in these images full of strength, how the scenes of life and death are intimately united, remembering that dying is necessary to be reborn with renewed strength.
