In 2015, he was awarded the prestigious Inkpot Prize at the San Diego International Salon for his work. Malefic Time is a story of anticipation that begins in 2038, when the world has sunk into chaos. The artist offers us here a very sensual vision of Luz, her heroine. The velvety appearance of his touch offers an ingenious contrast with Malefic, the formidable weapon by which Luz tries to avenge the death of her partner.
