He presented it at times related to the human being (women in particular) and at other times without him, and his plastic movement was accompanied by a media movement through which he launched various interpretations, readings and interpretations, exciting and ambiguous, about the art that he produced and many other issues, most of which related to his rural childhood, full of surprise and discovery of the simple and deep aesthetics of nature.
