I
am a third generation artist. My inspiration and interest in
art comes from a family background of painters and writers.
I started painting 25 years ago when I moved to Wheaton,
Illinois, so I consider myself a late bloomer. Painting has
become my passion, my addiction and I paint every day.
My favorite medium is watercolors although I also paint with
acrylics and pastels. Watercolors are very challenging and
unpredictable. You can begin with a concept, and as you
express it on the paper it ends up being something
completely different. The colors mix by themselves and are
transparent. You can wash over any color many times and
still see the first color thru.
I believe are in all its forms is the expression of the
artist as seen through his eyes and heart. Art is feelings
expressed on paper or canvas to enjoy what we see. The empty
canvas and papers are waiting for me to receive my energy
and my feelings.
Flowers and nature are my favorite subjects as inspired by
the beautiful tropical flora of my native island, Puerto
Rico. I paint in series since many paintings of the same
subject can better capture my feelings. The “Enchanted
Forest Series”, “Tropical Series”, abstracts and other
paintings can be viewed on my website
