It's very hard to try to be a cultural . . . people who organize cultural things . . . it's very complicated. And more so in a country like Guatemala.

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

I think my relationship with life has changed - I want to make more complex images than before. Complex in the sense that I try to put in a lot of information, sometimes contradictory information.

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

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

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.

I prefer to give a dollar to a thousand people.
