He thoughtfully crafts every piece of art considering shape language, feeling, mood, colour palette; bringing everything together into a unique and cohesive style. Mau works with empathy and compassion toward other team members; this is something we truly value. "

"Mau is one of these rare individuals who merge talent, deep knowledge, and a powerful capacity to understand and develop the full potential of those working around him. His solid foundations, both on technical and artistic levels, conform a duality that becomes fully tangible in the way he works and teaches. I'm firmly convinced that his vast professional experience combined with his passionate teaching vocation, make out of Mau an exceptional mentor for the new generations to come."

"Mauricio is not only a true artist who creates from the heart, he is also a natural born leader capable of guiding those who surround him. His professional career has consistently been characterized by a top level professionalism and an exceptional attention to detail, yielding results of unmatched quality at every stage. I'm excited by those who will get a chance to learn directly from him. I'm quite positive the results will surprise us all."

"Mau is a talented artist and an exceptional mentor with years of professional experience. His artistic vision reflects both his talent and his genuine passion for what he does, but what I value most about him is his ability to share that knowledge with others. Mau combines a strong artistic eye with deep technical knowledge, and he has a rare ability to break down complex subjects into clear, understandable steps. He is patient, thorough, and always willing to go into the details, including the technical nuances that are easy to overlook but can make a huge difference in the final result. I learned so much from Mau while working together. Beyond the skills and motivation I gained from him, I was constantly inspired by the way he approached problems, explored solutions, and cared about the quality of the work. I’m sure his students will benefit not only from his extensive experience as an artist, but also from his genuine desire to help others grow and become better artists."

"I met Mauricio Flores in a rigging class he imparted during my diploma course. From the very first session it was evident that he possesses extraordinary talent, both technically and artistically. Beyond that, he is a wonderful person- a man of integrity who is approachable and always willing to share his knowledge and experience. Like any great teacher, Mauricio does not limit himself to merely teaching the subject matter; he is also dedicated to fostering his students' growth in every respect- as individuals, as artists and as professionals. You can always count on Mauricio for honest guidance, unwavering support and a genuine interest in the development of those fortunate enough to learn from him."
