Gabriel was born in Mexico City, surrounded by colour and rich history. After working as a graphic designer, he moved to Montreal, Canada in 2000 following a desire to explore foreign land. In search for creative freedom he started experimenting and creating artwork, which eventually led him to explore textiles and embroidery—activities traditionally associated with women and which were forbidden for a boy growing up in Mexico.

His work is just so lovely. Simple and subtle in form, the depth he achieves with his use of colours and the build up of thread is phenomenal. I love the shapes he creates, and the way light can play on and through the piece.
