1943 | He was born in Montevideo, where he lives and works.
"Art is a dialog. The artist becomes a spectator and the spectator is also a creator."
"The color must sing" " I have changes one single color up to twelve times looking for the right one".
"Intuition is developed and grows gaining depth and consistence as a way of knowing". "Art becomes independent from the artist himself".
"Form once attained, it reiterates and the objective is centered around the innovation of the contents". "I am interested in all that is timeless. The utopia of belonging to any time. And I'm interested in dichotomies and adverse positions, man –woman, physical and spiritual presence, the human and the atmospheric elements, and also from the mystic point of view, man and woman, the human being and his surroundings or atmosphere".
"Color is the poetry of painting". "I hold the dramatic element; I understand that the expressive element must be less than the spiritual".
