"As an artist it is always good to look at the future in your
art. But, looking at my past editions, I can also appreciate the growth I've
experienced and understand how I got to where I am today. My art has evolved
through at least 14 different art styles
and different subject matters, from comic book-inspired art to
portrait-based on Pop Art, through enhancements in multicolor canvases; and to
the creation of sculptural paintings where real objects like boxing gloves and
cigar boxes were added to the canvas. My work continues to evolve in subject
matter as well, from Cuban cigars to Frank Sinatra, from Venus to Marilyn, from Mickey
Mouse to Superman, from the Beatles to Celine Dion and much more. I try to approach the canvas or the 3d item in a way that has never been seen before."
