Cuenca, Ecuador, 1965. Lives and works in Cuenca. His work proposes a critical dialogue between painting and photography, stressing on the line that separates the document from fiction. Usually paints scenes referring to spaces of transition or indefiniteness, geographical passages that also involve passages of existential change, as may be the transformations of the world of appearances and evidences thanks to the passing of time, the travels or voyages, the liminal spaces, the thresholds, or the transit places such as roads and walkways. He has represented Ecuador in the biennials of Cuenca (1989, 1996, 2001), La Habana (1991), Gwangju (2004), Sao Paulo (2004), Venice (2007), and The (S) Files 007, El Museo del Barrio, NY (2007). He was granted the Pollock-Krassner Foundation Grant in 2005, and the CIFO Comissions Program (mid-career) in 2007.
