Growing up as the son of a cook, I was fascinated by the carcasses of pigs in the kitchen. I would help season them and prepare them for the pit or the oven, never shy of handling a dead animal. On the contrary, I was always fascinated and curious. For a young man, proximity to death can be exciting. The connection between death and the celebration of life is intrinsic in the preparation of food. For life and sustenance to exist, death must occur. Throughout my life, cooking has catalyzed bonding. Many of those bonding experiences have included a piglet in the background. Before my father died, family and friends gathered in a celebration of his life. The menu: roasted pork. I helped him prepare it. I helped him cook it. This exhibition is a collection of works inspired by that event.

Puerto Rico
Old school cat set in his ways... if you like some artwork, get in touch and I'll update the price and availability. You know how it is... too many websites and things to post your work at so not keeping up with any of them. I'm a native of San Juan, Puerto Rico. After studies in Paris, France and a BFA from the University of Puerto Rico, I moved to New York, in 1999, where I worked as an art teacher while regularly showing my artwork. In the fall of 2004, I moved to San Francisco to complete an MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2006. Currently living and working in San Juan, Puerto Rico.... in case you care.
