Soona Paints is more than an art brand — it’s a remembrance.

Soona means “moon” in Otomi, the Indigenous people who once inhabited Querétaro, Mexico — my hometown. While time has softened the exact lines of my ancestry, history, place, and family stories guide me back to the Otomi people, known for their deep connection to farming, craft, and art.

Creativity runs through my blood.
My grandparents made pulque. One grandfather was a farmer. My grandmothers and great-grandmothers were pottery makers and embroiderers, carrying traditions passed down through generations. (Otomi embroidery is a beautiful example of this living art.)

For years, I simply loved making art — until I realized I wasn’t just creating, I was continuing something ancient.

Each piece I make honors the artists and ancestors whose names were lost, but whose spirit remains. When you support Soona Paints, you’re not just buying art — you’re helping keep a lineage alive.

Thank you for supporting my work and my ancestors. 🌙
