He studied at the Art Institute in Paris and at the College of Plastic Arts In Ecuador under Daniel Reyes. He won the 1994 ¨Paris Prize¨ (surely the most prestigious for young Ecuadorian artists) and in 1998 was one of ten artists under 40 years of age chosen by a national jury as a finalist to later be part of the monumental, ¨Emergent Artists of Latin American and the Caribbean¨ exhibition, A new generation of Artist, In Paris-France. Then, in 2002 in Barcelona he obtained a mention of honor in the second Biennial International of Painting ¨Vilassar del Mar¨.

In 2004, Pablo was among 25 artist who were selected in a competition and whose works were exposed in a group show ¨Art in a Bottle¨ at the Agora Gallery in Soho, New York.  In 2008 his  art work was selected in the 31st Small Works Art Competition (the 80 Washington Square East Galleries, NYU).  In 2009 he was selected for the show Fusion: American Classics Meet Latin American Art, at the Biggs Museum of American Art in Dover, Delaware (USA).  Also that year he was selected for the show: ¨Ecuadorian Contemporary Art¨ at United Nations, New York.  Just recently he showed his art at the group exhibition: ¨ Ecuadorian Renaissance¨, Queens Museum of Art, New York and also in the Second Bronx Latin American Art Biennial, New York (USA).

Por las familias divididas,

por los hijos de los sin papeles,

por los que pagan más por menos derechos,

por los que trabajan mucho y consiguen poco,

por los de pocas oportunidades en el país de las oportunidades,

por los explotados y marginados del ayer, de hoy y de siempre,

por los que vinieron por el sueño americano y encontraron pesadillas,

por los expatriados que aguardan su patria para un mañana,

por los que mueren en el intento, y por los que cruzaron ya la frontera,

por los que viven en las sombras a pesar que el sol es para todos.

Por todos y cada uno de ellos….

Queremos un país con rostro más humano.

We are you!

For the separated families,

For the children of undocumented workers,

For those who pay taxes yet enjoy no rights,

For those who work hard and get nothing in return,

For those who don’t get a break in the land of opportunity,

Fort the exploited and marginalized of yesteryear, today, and forever,

for those who sought the American dream and encountered many nightmares,

for the expatriates who await to regain their motherland in the near future,

for those who died trying and for those who managed to cross the border,

For those who live in the shadows despite the fact that the sun shines

for everybody.

For each and everyone of them…

We want a nation with a human face.

We are you!
