Since April 2013 I have been living in La Paz, B.C.S. under the Permanent Resident regime, I have a Federal Taxpayer Registry.

“Each blank canvas plunges me into a wordless confrontation. It may be scribbling directed at the bare canvas, and soon colors appear here and there…as if the canvas is guiding me to apply another color, in another way, and then again. I let my intuition dance with the canvas…until I reach satisfaction.”

John Izzik
