Artist Statement:
"We live in a fast paced
world, which repeats over
again and again. At times
we do not understand that
"life keeps us alive and not
just living". I
realize that my paintings give
us - because I am too a
spectator - an
opportunity to absorb, to rest
the soul. It...

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I started planning to be a painter at 14. First I studied by mail lessons from Modern Schools, a nice way to learn from US teachers without moving. At 17 I earned a contest and had a grant at Nidia Serra's private art center. I learned from her watercolor and guouche and nearly two years later I started studying at the National Fine Art School, learning drawing, painting, design, sculpture and engraving during six years.
The most influential moment in my art career was when my grandfather gave me a book about the MOMA. It was a revelation. Names as Kokostcka, Rothko, Tobey, etc were then appreciated and studied.
In 1983 a surrealistic show at our Modern Art Gallery (now Modern Art Museum) by Martha Chapa, a Mexican artist, gave me the idea of using everyday elements as metaphors or symbols. She was using apples and I started looking for a fruit symbolizing Latin-American love and passion. The winner of the casting was: The Mango!
She was surrealistic, but I was looking for a way to combine my feelings and emotions with reality. After some horrible try I made my first piece of abstract-real painting in 1983. The theme was a traditional still life combined with a gestural background with free colors and strokes, some resembling like the aborigin drawings of our taino culture.
That year I also made my first artwork for a big contest, the E. Leon Jimenes Biennial. I made a realistic window filled with frantic lines and colors and surrounded by childlike grapphity drawings.

| Your Personal Biography |
First things I remember in my life were
lights. Lights of Merida City in Mexico. We were traveling there early in the 60's and made a short stop before going to the big city. Electric lamps shining like stars, a lot! It was a dark night and through the plane window all those dancing colors...
Years later my grandpa gave me an incredible beautiful book, 'Monet', a Master of light and color, with paintings plenty of sun and life. I was at the Fine Art School then, and at the University at the same time, where a good friend gave a little book about Vermeer, another favorite. Light, light, more light... |
