As a child, he began to draw and paint self-taught at the November 20 elementary school, without any teacher, only his imagination, using pencil, his notebook, and Chinese ink. Unaware of what was pictorial art and its history.

He alwa

Twenty years later, in 1970, he decided to emigrate to Mexico City desirous to learn more about the art of painting. He entered the Academy of San Carlos (National School of Plastic Arts), where he learned the history of art, the great masters of classical, and contemporary painting.
