After a long period of working with themes such as violence, migration, etcetera, I have decided to focus on an oasis in my work, in order to speak to other aspects of life. ARBÓREA, for me, goes far beyond a purely ecological message, beyond a consciousness of our planet and the destruction of nature. I have adopted the á r b o l —tree— element as a motive/pretext to tell various stories which make the experience of life pleasant.
ARBÓREA emerges from a series of collages which have been printed on Spanish cotton paper —GUARRO— using vegetable inks. –Calvillo

Formerly a medical doctor, Calvillo’s artwork has traveled in exhibitions to Tokyo, Romania and Cuba as well as different regions in Mexico and California including Guerra Florida/ Passport Clandestine, Mexican Cultural Institute, Los Angeles, to name a few.

Después de una larga temporada trabajando temas como la violencia, migraciones, etcétera, he querido hacer un oasis en mi trabajo para hablar de otros aspectos de la vida. ARBÓREA, para mí, va más allá de un mensaje puramente ecológico, más allá de una conciencia sobre nuestro planeta y la destrucción de la naturaleza. He tomado el elemento á r b o l como un pretexto/motivo para contar algunas historias que hacen agradable la experiencia de vivir.
ARBÓREA nace de una serie de collages que se han imprimido en papel español de algodón —GUARRO— utilizando tintas vegetales. –Calvillo
