I am a fisherman, an artist in oil and acrylics. I live in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua with my wife and young son. I have been a natural artist since I was a boy. These paintings were completed in the nights when my imagination is fired. In the days I work in construction and fishing. Apart from painting in acrylics and oils I also make jewelry, sculpture and work in mixed media. I paint in the house, in the street, in commercial premises, and create personal and urban art and large murals. I enjoy growing plants from seed and have many different herbs and plants on the terrace outside my house. I sell my art in the street, I am a simple artist.
