My work is intensely personal.

I like to believe that rather than destroy icons, I make new ones.

One of the things that I am happy about in my life as an artist is that I am not considered a Hispanic artist.

Artists are a free society's greatest advocates and its best bulwarks. Their triumphs are civilization's triumphs.

I think if the Vatican is smart, someday they'll collect my work.

I like going to Church for aesthetic reasons, rather than spiritual ones.

I say things, but I say them indirectly. At the same time, I try to make my images as direct as possible.
