Style:Figurative
Technique:Digital
I am an artist originally from TehuacƔn, Puebla. I began my artistic journey in high school,
participating in school competitions where I customized soccer jerseys and designed posters for events. It was there that I discovered drawing as my primary means of expression, which led meĀ to delve deeper into my training and build a career in the arts.
My work is heavily influenced by pop culture, especially video games and film, which I reinterpret through elements of Mexican culture.
My work is characterized by its vibrant colors and impactful style, as I aim to create an initial connection for international audiences andĀ spark interest in the rich cultural heritage of Mexico.
I have had the opportunity to collaborate with major studios and brands, participating in
projects such as illustrations for Halo InfiniteĀ (2025 Anniversary) and Gears of War x Day of
the Dead 2024. I have also worked with UmbroĀ on the development of illustrations for special Day of the Dead editions distributed in South America.
In 2026, my Day of the Dead project was recognized with a Gold Award at the Lusophone Creativity Awards, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in the packaging design category, highlighting myĀ illustration work.
Currently, I continue to develop my visual language with the goal of expanding the reach of
my work and positioning it internationally.

JosĆ© Antonio MartĆnez De la Cruz, better known as JAMDELAC, held his first solo exhibition at the Casa de la Cultura Tonacalli in Iztapalapa, Mexico City in 1999, an experience that encouraged him to continue on that path. Thanks to this and his curiosity, he later joined various artistic experimentation workshops – Graphic Design, Sculpture, and Painting – at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
