As a man, sensitive, impulsive, expressive, generous, exaggerated, picturesque, naive. As a father and husband, the most loving, dedicated, hugging man... his family was always his priority. As an artist, focused solely on what art made him feel as a person, it was his life. Without realizing it, art showed him that, no matter what path he took, it always came back to him. He decided that in his last years he would dedicate himself completely to this profession, that of a consecrated artist.
Intuitive by nature, he was a lover of the countryside, of the wonders of the planet, of animals, of human inventions such as engineering and robotics. He was a great reader and student of world history and art. Always an entertaining conversationalist with wonderful people skills. Everyone loved him, he left his mark on the place he visited and on the people who knew him. His soul was that of a curious, stubborn, intelligent child... full of laughter, always optimistic about his life.
Genius in the midst of an era overshadowed by materialism and globalization. He passed away hoping that his work would be recognized locally, regionally and globally, because his spirit reminded him that he was an artist. Francisco, a noble being.
