‘The Ocean Watchman’ 2006 Glass mosaic tiles — This beautiful mosaic is constructed with glass and gold leaf tiles from Ravenna, a small town in Northern Italy famous for its dazzling mosaics. The Ocean Watchman is a deity that lives in the oceans. With his royal headdress (penacho), strong arms, and shimmering fish tail, he helps lead all in his world.

‘Between Dimensions’ 2015 23K gold leaf, oil on mahogany panel — This oil painting with gold leaf is breathtaking against the richness of a dark mahogany panel. The bulls travel in life as we do, from one dimension to another or from one phase in our life to another.

‘Yiya’s Flowers 2’ 1999 Oil on metal leaf, canvas covered & wood panel — An inspired floral arrangement that echoes the plumes of the Mayas and Aztecs of Mexico and reflects the richness and color of Mexican culture.

‘The Poet’ 2015 23K gold leaf, oil on mahogany panel — With its vibrant colors and myriad of abstract shapes, this piece represents “the poet, whose feelings explode from his soul and his heart.”

'Divine Path’ 2002 Oil, metal leaf, canvas & wood panel — A beautiful combination of oil, metal and wood that spreads a message of progression. “Each one has their own path, their own destiny. In opening and surrendering our ego consciousness to the light, we begin to realize our destiny that was written in the beginning. We complete the merger of our individual self with our creator.”

‘Ancestral Philosophy’ 2003 Wood sculpture, 23K gold leaf, oil, canvas & wood panel — This striking art piece masterfully combines wood sculpture and oil paints. It received a “MERIT OF HONOR” by Amsterdam Whitney International Fine Art Inc. New York, N.Y. USA.
