Serene and balanced great gentleman, but also a tenacious fighter, he was an innovator in his time. I have dedicated my life to painting, making sculpture, feeling life in music and books, he said. Creator, researcher in the field of History and Art Criticism, great promoter of cultural activity as a professor at the School of Fine Arts, Director of the Colón Theater and the Colonial Museum. Walter Engel wrote about him in 1944: At the age of 40, he must be considered as a classic of Colombian modern art and as one of its most representative painters, enshrined not only in his own country, but also in the great international centers of contemporary art.
