Sculptor. Has reside in Puerto Rico since 1959. Studied Visual Arts at the University of Puerto Rico in 1964. His work stands out by his round bases made in acrylic with objects of industrial character like faucets and taps, irons, locks, chains and metal tubes attached to the acrylic round bases to create a composition.
“I like to handle philosophical entities like masses, voids, spaces, materials, light… all of them have implications with our comprehension of the world and universe. It can be said that in all of them there is a search for the truth. I’m not interested in the “beautiful” thing, I don’t try to make beautiful things, I only try to express myself in an abstract way”.
