With all this experience he can evolve with efficiency, creativity and solvency in any genre and medium related to the industry. He's a music lover and this can be appreciated throughout his work with constant fusion to music. Paintings are a constant reference in his visual projection and development. Architecture is the art hidden behind cinematography realization, for that he is always paying attention to the directly proportional relation between space and the scene set. He is attracted to advertising because of the exigency of narrative efficiency and the possibility of visual experimentation. Due to that today, almost fifty years after he was born, he still listens to the promise of that we are almost out of this crisis", he has developed a thick skin for working in this field, and like a Zen Buddhist virtue of infinite patience. Now like he has always done, he rather not sit and wait to find out if this time it's true what they say. He rather by any means to keep on filming his projects.
