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 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 of aesthetics 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 friend’s homes around the world, keep that secret within the houses of generous people.
