“Somehow, not only for Christmas,! But all the long year through,! The joy that you give to others! Is the joy that comes back to you! And the more you spend in blessing! The poor and lonely and sad,! The more of your heart's possessing! Returns to make you glad.�! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

“I thank the Universe for my experience in China as a Latin American artist, for the colours, the symmetry, the moments and characters that I observed and captured in my paintings at "Passport to Beijing". For the coming year I wish to keep developing my art as a portrait of peace, joy and harmony, to evolve as a man and an artist and more over to enjoying all the good and new experiences that will come. My best wishes for 2014”!
