I began to acquaint myself with this profession from an early age, overwelmed by an urge to do and say somethingn with
papers, crayons and clay, learning through trial and error until I identified completely with what I expressed. So today as
in the past, my work has its main emphasis the total representation of the form or theme, which essentially who I am as a
person serves as a catalyst between formal reality and the transformation of that reality into a work of art. I
apply my concept of reality; I take from from life what is essential or what characterizes it, using my sensitivity as a filter
to be able to interpret it physically through painting or drawing. Miy persistent theme is life. A landscape, a bar, a man
on a corner or in a park; a day laborer; an historic personage; a romantic element. Everything interests me and that is a
pretext for painting. Oil, pastel, watercolor or pencil drawing, charcoal or chalk. Each of these resources carrries an infinite
pleasure when they come together in the expression of a complete sentiment. Painting for painting's sake, for art and for
those who have the curiosity to look and feel.

I LOVE TO BE IN MY STUDIO
|
The Agony and the Ecstasy
"Each day I go to my studio full of
joy; in the evening when obliged to stop because of darkness I can scarcely wait for the morning to come... My work is not
only a pleasure, it has become a necessity. No matter how many other things I have in my life, if I cannot give myself to
my dear painting I am a miserable." - William Bouguereau (1825-1905)

Creativity is an exercise in cognition and innovation; it may be described as a personal point o view. Neither
cognition nor innovation could prevail without a proper foundation. Without the basic acquisition of Knowledge, creativity
and innovation are nothing but a perfect disguise for mediocrity and ignorance.Technical proficiency consists of
a series of procedures that result in a precise representation of form, and, though one should never mistake technical ability
for art proper, it is clear nevertheless that the former makes it possible to create the latter. Abdon J. Romero
still-life by Angel Ramiro Sanchez
"I am convinced that the works of to-day's avant-garde are the poisoned fruit of a spiritual decadence, with all the consequences
that arise from a tragic loss of love for life."Pietro Annigoni.
