Paintings according to the mood of the day, time, inspiration ...... 40 canvases approximately subjected to the criticism of the customers. From 72 to the end of 92, I almost stopped painting.

From 1960 to 72, negociando, solaba pintar a veces en mi Bar-Restaurante. Pinturas según el humor del día, tiempo, inspiración ...... 40 obras subjectadas aproximadamente a la crítica de los clients. Desde 72 al final of 92, casi paré el pintar. Mi nuevo trabajo me permitió practicar pero no muy a menudo. Desde 93, puesto that me retired, pinto diario, oleo, aquarela, grabado. Self-taught, del quepo en las compañías artísticas local, frecuentes de los talleres, participo in competiciones de pintar en la calle, in exposiciones de grupo, local, regional y nacional or como recluse. Amator del impressionism, figurado, paisaje tengo gusto de todo que sea contrast of colors. Perfeccionista, no tengo gusto de la aproximación.
