Jorge Pardo




We first met Jorge when we were both looking at the same house at the same time in 2000.  It was years later that we ran into each other again and it wasn't until 2013 when he and his girlfriend Milena Murquiz moved to Merida that we became friends.  Last night we were invited to a magical place in the jungle near Izamal to have dinner.  It restored my belief in the craftsmen of the Yucatan and my belief in art.  In 2010 his Merida residence was on the cover of World of Interiors.
