Butterflies remind me of my grandfather. His backyard had a flower patch and butterflies loved to visit and stay for long periods of time. It would be in early spring, usually a sunny and warm day. I guess that’s when I started loving flowers and butterflies. I was four years old. I remembered my childhood while painting PAPILLON.

Tropical islands are my favorite places to visit for a week of relaxation, I love swimming and snorkeling in the warm Caribbean waters, the lush green vegetation and the exotic flowers.
Even though the islands have a lot of similarities, I have had a different experience in each one. I was inspired by Bora Bora for this painting, I was at the Club Med spending a week with my wife, we had a small bungalow raised above water, it was a beautiful setting. The food, the fresh bread, the cheese and the wine were great and needless to say I was happy. Life was beautiful and I had a great time.
When I got back I could not wait to express the wonderful experience on canvas, RAINFOREST was created, I have thought of other titles like Bird of Paradise and a few others but at the end Rainforest was my choice.
Isn’t nature beautiful, it’s good to be alive.

Abstract expression is a feeling that you paint spontaneously without thought or planning, for me usually music is my inspiration, I paint while music directs my strokes whether gently or strongly, light colors or dark.
When I finish the painting and am satisfied with the way it looks, I examine it to see if it reminds of anything familiar.
Fantasy reminds me of a circus with a high wire dancer. What do you see?

I enjoy feeding blue jays that come every morning to our backyard and scream for peanuts in a shell. I decided to paint an abstract expression of the jays and found myself hinting the jays in my painting. I would call that an abstract impression because one can see the silhouettes of the birds.

I have been to a few bullfights in my time, very exciting, the music , the warm colors, you are happy that the toreador prevails but you feel a little sadness that the bull must die. So it’s a mixed feeling, like the gladiators fighting for their lives knowing that you either live or die. There is a certain majestic powerful and arrogant look that the bull displays, very intimidating. The young toreador who looks so elegant but frail in his costume and cape. A David and Goliath story.

Snorkeling in St. Thomas is a great experience. I spent a week there and I was in the water all day snorkeling. I loved the colorful species of fish, but I was mesmerized by the underwater landscape and the coral. I have painted this painting remembering how beautiful nature is.

Flamenco music inspired me on this Abstract expressionistic painting. The rhythm, the clapping, the dancers,the bright colors, love that music and the Spanish culture, so warm and full of life, lively. I hope looking at this painting you get the same uplifting feeling I got.
