Calixto Robles is a painter, printmaker and sculptor from Oaxaca, Mexico. Inspired by the myths, symbols, colors and ancient traditions of Meso-America, he mixes the silkscreen techniques, which enhance texture and brilliant color, with drawn and found images. Robles’ paintings explore magical realms while his ceramics allow him to reconnect with earthly materials.

She has had residencies at Curtiduria Print shop in Oaxaca, Mexico and the de Young Museum in San Francisco. Blum actively exhibits and selected shows include de Young Museum, Cornell University Hartell Gallery, San Francisco Public Library, Museo de la Filatelia de Oaxaca, Ligne Roset, Front Gallery, Somarts, Paxton Gate Curiosities for Kids, The Mission Cultural Center and The San Francisco Jewish Library.
