NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
Art has represented a constant research and enjoyment in my life. I have profound memories of me walking the corridors of the exhibit hall at the Diputación de Alicante (City Hall) as early as when I was ten years old. First taken by the hand of my father, a great intellectual that opened my eyes to the beauty and aesthetics of art and literature. Those encounters with mostly Spanish painters would remain with me forever. Later in my life I would walk the museums of the world delighting in the worlds that images brought to my eyes.
I have even attempted painting and sculpting. The walls of my friends’ homes around the world, keep that secret within the houses of generous people.
