Years later I realized that my obsession and taste for including horses in my work were not casual, but part of the roots of this deeply rooted horse-loving town.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"362\" data-end=\"792\">The cultural shock I experienced when I moved to Colombia in 1966 deepened my need to paint and draw. This led me to study in several art institutes in the city of Pereira. It was there where I consolidated the idea of making painting a profession. After sharing with professional painters, first as a student, I decided to move to Bogota, a city that offered me the opportunity to expand my knowledge.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"794\" data-end=\"1304\">I studied graphic arts with professors of great relevance worldwide, and I began to develop the theme that today distinguishes my work: horses, the relationship between human beings and nature, and the human essence in its different aspects. The graphic arts brought to my painting a distinctive stamp: the superimposition of layers, the use of stencils and obstacles to reserve spaces, generating a chromatic and figurative richness that gives my paintings a movement and a very particular diversity.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1306\" data-end=\"1496\">Color came with my trips to the Caribbean. The contrast between the ochres of the mountains and the glowing Caribbean colors transformed my monochrome drawings and prints into vibrant paintings.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1498\" data-end=\"1711\">My work, which has been recognized with some awards and mentions, has been exhibited in several countries. I continue to develop it prolifically between my workshops in Bogota and Puerto Rico, where I live and work.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element
