An artist considered for his energetic and action like paintings, also know as "live paintings", are derived from the free movements and paint stains,
thus the movement from Neo Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism.  An Artist who reflects his sensitivity in the variety of his works, having the
ability to change materials and tecniques,  versatile and constantly looking for the impulse of direct emotions, thus, qualifying himself  sometimes as
an enigma - curious dreamer of an insatiable imagination.  His flowing movements and blending of primary colors  reflect his warm Latin roots and
infinite ways to express them and after extensive travels throughout the world, he declares that almost always, the artist is in conflict and in his case,
solves his existence.

"Upon the installment of my studio at the
beginning of the year in the Warehouse
District, it was impossible to not feel the
complexity of the magnificent construction
in downtown Houston...   

imposing, contrasting, organized,
enveloping, overflowing of transactions,
nourishing, desired, agile, intellectual,
dirty and clean, but functional city.

Where it is clear that the Oil and Gas
Industry are the principal actors in this
immense scene, where my pallet is in
complicity of the outpour and color,
making it possible for the strength of the
lines to mix  and sprout from the deepest
soil until they reach the sky and where
each section of the artwork represents
each working day."
