| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
I had been influenced by Dubuffet & Jamali for the texture.
Balderrama for the use of the knife.
Elmar Rojas for the color and Nicolas de Stael for the space.
I discovered recently that Marc Dickson was already doing the kind of visual effect I was starting to do ! And I moved away ! |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Since I was young, I knew all the great museums of the world .
Later, I started to be an Art Collector : I started with Guido Chire Balderrama that I discovered in his atelier in La Paz.
Picasso, James Coignard, Jamali, Ronald Searle, Elmar Rojas, Brigitte Bussutil, Regis D'Ho, Ginette Beaufrand
Lauro Salas,Ramon Miranda and other South-American Painters
When travelling in South or Central-America,I am always buying local artists.
Later I became a painter !
