How would you define your work?


I lean more towards art that can put life into perspective. I love how Robert Hughes said it: “If art can’t tell us about the world we live in, then I don’t believe there’s much point in having it.”
Favorite color?


It’s actually not a color. I prefer black, gray, maybe flesh/nude.
What are you listening to right now?

Pink Floyd albums, particularly Animals and Dark Side of the Moon.
Favorite dish?

Pasta with fresh black truffles and tabla de quesos
