THE ELEMENTS









"Fuego, Agua, Aero"

"The four ancient elements... hmmm, that's cool no?" I told Steve one night when he saw the first piece I called "El Fuego" or The Fire. That was 2006, and the piece was finished 2005.

Last 2007, I finished "Agua" or Water. And then this year, I placed the final strokes on "Aero" or Air. I wonder when I'll start doing "Tierra" or Earth.

"Don't you notice something? Like it takes me a year each to finish one of them," I told Steve last week.

"It's a labor of love. Besides, It's very interesting when my visitors see that I add a new one beside it every year," he replied.
