We should also remark his continued admiration of Ancient Egypt Civilization, its mystical teachings and the characterization of life, which has acted and influenced definitively in the creation of his first series of paintings, (very figurative), which is called - " Dream in Giza " - In later series of his career, we find that the abstraction is the best vehicle for his creative expressions. We find in the artworks of the Series "Universe" and "Infinite" all the paintings that reflects his passion and admiration for the Cosmos and Cosmology where he finds the unlimited fount of inspiration.
