What inspired you to become an artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always been inclined to drawing even as a child. It\u2019s not an inspiration, it just is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you currently working on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project-wise, many. I work on projects all at the same time. Real work? Myself. A person has to keep on working on himself, his rootedness, his connection to his being, the Supreme Being, and the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was your first exhibit like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like all other exhibits. Exhibits are social events that\u2019s part of marketing your art and the self. It\u2019s the end. There\u2019s nothing there but the appreciation. It\u2019s the creation process that\u2019s of greater value to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your process like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing special. I think, I dream. Or I dream, I think. Depends on the project and the depth of the inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was the most valuable thing you learned doing your art?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rootedness, identity. Rootedness and identity define the artist\u2019s soul. Anyone can put paint on canvas, but the person that does his work well is aware of his soul and his purpose here on earth lives up to his soul existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite piece you\u2019ve created?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My children. In them I see the depths of human love and the power of the Divine Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite piece by another artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite is an artist, not his piece. Antonio Gaudi because his works assault all your senses and reflect a mind that challenges all conventions and his audience. His work is unapologetic and yet are products of unfathomable thoughts that are his alone but that he has committed his whole life to share to the world. They\u2019re not just random abstracts built to impress and in the process beautify the absence of depths. His works hold his soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do you work in the medium that you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s what I\u2019m most comfortable with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite place to create in?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
