My work became professional after the Exhibition of Gradual and Material Symbology, in different roles at the "La Clessidra" Gallery in Milan, Italy. Then in Venezuela, I developed this language in different concepts, with samples such as "Archetypes II" (1988), "Sonografías de lo Arcano" (1989), "Huellas" (1989), and "Arquitexturas" (2015). These works in these samples, continued determining my intention to express the idea of ​​​​an extraterrestrial influence in the daily life of ancient civilizations, whose archaeological discoveries determine these investigations. The critical aspect of my work was cataloged in different samples, such as Dr. Roberto Guevara +, Juan Calzadilla, Yibis de Pulgar Dra. Milagros Bello, the artist Luis Chacón, the artist Hugo Baptista and the architect Francisco Cantón.
