That is why, despite having postgraduate studies in Psychology at the University of New York (NYU), plus study in the Art Students League in that city. It was in New York for the 1978 to 1986 where he joined New drawing, printmaking, painting and sculpture, thanks to this great extensive experience and knowledge development in the plastic. Then he decides to go to Italy, (birthplace of classic) arts. There she experiment with different marbles and perfects the medium of sculpture in stone.
