Painting is my life, my occupation, and my greatest satisfaction.  At the same time it’s a great challenge that I face in my studio in an incessant search to capture “a particular” image.  It is a constant journey.   In addition to the symbolic content in my artwork, I strive for richness and pictorial quality.  I enjoy the use of textures and finishes to communicate harmony and balance.  

This site presents work from three series of paintings, as well as portraits, landscapes and still life.  When I am motivated by a theme I develop it in series.  For many years I have worked on the Volcanoes and Plantain leaves of my native country of Costa Rica , known for its generous nature.  In the series “ Petra : Colors of Time” I produced paintings based on my impressions of visiting this ancient site in Jordan .   

Currently, I am working on a project on Latin American immigrants in the United States .  It involves interviewing and recreating impressions of their life stories.  The project also aims to increase an appreciation for art as a way of addressing social causes, and to support people and institutions that help the disadvantaged improve their lives.
