He is a multidisciplinary artist, creates installation, sculpture, painting, video, drawing etc. Any medium that delivers the project and the idea functions to him. He creates large-scale public installations informed by a political and social consciousness and is a longtime explicator and arbiter of the cross-border dialogue. In his work, ERRE brings a poetic sensibility to the physical, economic, linguistic and cultural boundaries that separate people. Describing his works simply as “constructions that accommodate ideas”, he frequently employs recognizable formats – traffic signs, eye charts, tourist bureau guideposts – to present unembellished and often unsettling information. He obtained Law Degree in the Universidad Autonoma de Baja California. Immigrated to the United States where he worked for 17 years in the construction industry as a carpenter. In 1989 became active in the field of visual arts, since then he has participated in residencies, lectures and different individual and collective exhibitions in countries like Mexico, USA, Russia, China, Puerto Rico, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Cuba, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and in mayor exhibitions like the VI and VII Havana Biennials, the Whitney Biennial 2000, The 2007 Sao Paulo /Valencia Biennial, The California Biennial 08 and the second Moscow Biennial among others.
