Visual Art Painter

A self-taught painter.  Born in El Salvador, in the heart of a humble peasant family, a very hard worked and hospitable people.  After he finished his high school in Don Bosco College, in 1972 travelled to Costa Rica, country in which he lives since then.  There he decided to cultivate his childhood’s dream: to paint.
