ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE

As a teenager I started to work with my father Francisco Porras who was a great artist, doing enamel, oil painting, watercolor, sculpture as well as assembling his artwork in our garage shop at home and setting up exhibitions. All I know about art I learned from him.

I had the opportunity to work with the great artist master Carlos Cruz Diez back in the late 70's.

I have done several exhibits and the one I did in France has been the most important. Luz, Color y Fuerza resumes great part of what I consider the expression of me.

I am an abstract artist and I think art should be a selfportrait of our feelings, moods and creativity and enable us to transmit it in an interactive way were people can get involved and let their imagination fly.
