It is a great honor to have been invited to be exhibiting artist of INTERSECTION International Art & Culture held at Arthur M. Sackler Museum of Art and Archaeology at prestigious Peking University in the celebrations of its 25th Anniversary. After the wonderful inauguration, a two day symposium followed, where each artist had the opportunity to talk about their work. It was a very enriching experience both to listen to each artist and spending a week with them through the various cultural and tourist activities we shared. Thank you so much Jillian Sackler, Miguel Benavides curator of the exhibit, and all the persons involved in making this wonderful event happen. It was an extra honor my painting Meditations (oil, 40" x 60") was chosen as the image of the exhibit.
