Hello visitors, and
thank you for taking the time to look at my art. Please sign
the guestbook before you leave.
Here is a short friendly bio:
I was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1959. A one-and-a-half year old child cannot
remember what it was like to have our homes and businesses taken over
by the regime of Fidel Castro. In any case, we took a long ship-ride to
Spain right about when Cuba turned communist.
I was raised in Barcelona, Spain until 1974. In a sense, I still think
of Spain as home, a home that will be undoubtedly changed if and when
I return to visit. There again, hard for a happy and energetic thirteen
year-old to recall the turmoil of Franco's impending death and the threat
of social unrest.
Nevertheless, my family thought it best to take another long trip in search
of a better life. This time my family and I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada,
USA, where we were reunited with my father's family.
These
two are my dear Vegas pets. What is it about animals that they become
so important in our lives?
About art...I have loved art all my life and earned a
few stripes at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. After a short but
fruitful career in Exercise Physiology, I decided I wanted to make art
full-time. As of September 30th, 1999 I am proud to say I am a full-time
artist. I find collectors mostly through art festivals throughout the
Western US.
My current body of work includes figurative semi-abstracts
inspired by the grain of the wood, and simple realistic works of the world
around me. Other hobbies I actually have time to practice are dog-walking,
hiking, camping and traveling by car. I love my life!
