This feline is not chosen by chance, the tiger is a strong symbol of vitality, unpredictability, strength but also self-confidence.
It also symbolizes highly ambition and justice.

On his head, like a cap the face of man eyes raised towards the sky.
On his back, like a backpack the Bulldog's head.

The bulldog, with its solid body, muscular, trapu and a powerful jaw evokes force. Its strength, its tenacity, its desire to combat stronger animals.

This sculpture certainly found his inspiration in England, or Aaron Hinojosa, the first country where he stayed after his departure from Mexico.

Victorian caricaturists at the end of the eighteenth century, also began to accompany the figure of Britannia of a lion and a bulldog.

Source of meditation and smile, sculptor delirious, these creations mix a real technical virtuosity to an omnipresent onirism.

Engaged artist, every sculpture, every painting, each drawing, each line are studied with aesthetics of the game, magic and intelligence.
