Director of the Museo de Bellas Artes de Caracas, 1976-1978.Eduardo Blanco Estrada pointed out: "The Venezuelan architect who most actively produced and exhibited his plastic works. His works, however, are not an extension of architectural design [...] but are strongly linked to his inclination towards literature and more specifically towards poetry. Oneiric references, figures that are sometimes deformed or caricatured, turning into physiognomies, traits of the personalities alluded to; blurred environments, semi-abstract backgrounds."
