He has also received numerous awards and recognitions, such as the Scholarship for Artistic Creation of the National Fund for Culture and the Arts of Mexico in 2003, the artistic residency award of the Casa de Velázquez in 2006 and the Research Grant of the French Institute of Latin America in 2009.

WINGS My goal as an artist and a human being is to inspire positive change in the world. To achieve real change we have to start with ourselves. My works are meant to be a reminder that we all have wings, but some choose to amputate them. These paper white wings are individual. Eventually their companion will materialize in another form, for example as body art. This is my most personal work, it represents my world, my philosophy of life. They are 3 wings in one. The Angel Wing Even more important than the work of an artist is his own life. The sensitivity that characterizes me led me to make the decision at the age of 8 to change what I did not like in this world and I soon understood that the only thing we can control is ourselves. I decided to become a citizen of my own utopia, living an exemplary life. Nobility, empathy, solidarity and love are my tools to bring light to the darkest places. Be the change you want to see in others. Gandhi The Wing of Pegasus The winged horse unifies the stability of the earth and higher ideals. This beautiful beast embodies the concept of bringing magic into the material plane. As heir to the mysticism of Mexican and Celtic culture, here I find strength. The Bird Wing Wings represent freedom, and freedom means responsibility. It is necessary to explore those new places and ideas, to take risks, to step out of the comfort zone. The unknown can be intimidating but wonderful things can happen when you have an open heart, eyes and mind. They also represent my strong bond with nature. I am excited to discover how far my wings can take me. Nolvenn Le Goff Of Mexican and French origin, Nolvenn travels to Barcelona in 2005 to pursue a Master's Degree in Marketing after completing a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design and two specializations at the School of Design of the National Institute of Fine Arts in Mexico in Editorial Design, Multimedia and Advertising Creativity. In 2010, Nolvenn made the decision to prove herself and begin her formal journey through the art world. She questions herself about the role of the artist, the themes that interest her and how to reflect them in her future projects. This year two of them are born based on her environmental concerns: a playful project based on artistic recycling and the Paper Cities. These Paper Cities have been one of their most rewarding projects, both technically, aesthetically and conceptually. The cities won an international contemporary art competition (bARTcelona, 2010), allowed him to spend 2 months of artistic residency at the ecomuseum La Papeterie de Vaux, in France (2012) and participate in the Art Capital art show at the Grand Palais in Paris.
