I am an architect. I try to feel the transparency in contemporary buildings and I try to understand the transparency in Zen poetry. I just want to mix all those things.

I want to be a contemporary artist and at the same time a romantic!

You never know who will see your images hanging. And I like that. I think you never really have control over the things that you do.

The Indians are a marginal people in Guatemala just like I am a marginal person in the first world.

Face, to me, is a metaphor of sadness. And I want to share this sadness. I'm not really interested whether it's an Indian face or not - that's not as important for me. But it's still important to establish the relationships in order to bring about a consciousness of our fragility.

I'd prefer to invite the artists simply to work and have fun with Guatemalan artists. To share missions of life. Maybe that is more important than seeing an exhibition.

If you can explain a poem, it is not a poem. Poetry has to be inexplicable.
