Tell us about yourself and your background.
I've been fortunate with opportunities to travel the world, at one time or other
counting Mexico, France, Sweden and Spain as my home. In the past, a good part of
my life was dedicated to business ventures: commodity trading, an advertising agency
and an art gallery, among others.
During the past two decades, I've been focused on artistic expressions –
painting, photography, design and architecture, but mainly on writing. The sources for
the things I'm interested in writing about are the passions of people; places and
customs that I've experienced around the world; and stories or situations that intrigue
me. However, I'm convinced that none of the aforementioned is enough to create a
work of fiction (or any kind of artwork, for that matter), unless it's supported by a
strong, fundamental idea.
What are you hobbies?
My interests are centred around languages, music, travelling to extraordinary places,
and all visual arts (painting, photography, cinema). These elements, I believe, occupy
a large place in what I write. Moreover, because of them I perceive my literary work
to be easy to visualize.
