Cultivating Thought: Chipotle Author Series

I read ‘Like Water for Chocolate’ when I was in university and never imagined that years later I would illustrate one of Laura Esquivel’s short stories.
This series of three illustrations accompanies her story ‘Two Minutes of Lasting Love’, for Chipotle Mexican Grill’s Cultivating Thought project.
It’s all thanks to the work of Aaron Lloyd Barr of Bernstein & Andriulli, NY.

Cuando estaba en la universidad y leí Como Agua para Chocolate, nunca imaginé que varios años después ilustraría un cuento de Laura Esquivel.
Esta serie de tres ilustraciones acompañan al texto “Dos minutos de amor permanente”, que pertenece al proyecto Cultivating Thought de Chipotle Mexican Grill. 
Todo gracias al trabajo de Aaron Lloyd Barr de Bernstein & Andriulli, NY.
The pattern of the tiled floor is inspired by my friend Mario’s house.
Some of the final details of the kitchen were suggested by a man I met in Nayarit. He used to work installing kitchens in vacation houses and told me to add specific elements.

El patrón del piso inspirado en la casa de mi amigo Mario.
Algunos detalles finales de la ilustración de la cocina los sugirió un chico que conocí en Nayarit. Él, quien antes se dedicaba a instalarlas en casas de gringos, me dijo: "Ponle más adornos aquí y acá".
