Federico Escobar Rios Columbian Photojournalist for NY Times . Humbled that he gave me the permission to paint his portrait whose facial expression is just very striking and vivid and capturing his emotions was just awe-inspiring. Another for the books that made me feel good as an artist.

Chaitén & Elias oil on canvas painting 12”x15”
An example of beauty of mixed race. “Being half, I am evidence that race, too, will become relic. Eventually we're all going to be brown, sort of. Some days, when I'm reeling grand, I feel brand-new - like a prototype. Back in the olden days, my dad's ancestors got stuck behind the Alps and my mom's on the east side of the Urals. Now, oddly, I straddle this blessed, ever-shrinking world.”
