| When did you begin to paint? | In 1978, because I wanted a small oil to match the one my father has painted for my boat. |
| Did you have painting courses? | No, I learnt by myself, little by little, painting old sailing boats for fun |
| When the hobby turned professional? | In 1996, when I began to paint underwater subjects |
| How many hours do you paint per day? | Zero to six hours. Average 4 hours |
| How many paintings do you make in a year? | Around 60 few years ago. Now it is closer to 30, for I paint bigger paintings with more details |
| How long does it take to do a painting? |
Between 10 to 100 hours depending size and details. Average 30 hours maybe. The whole process takes one to three months, to allow different lays to dry. |

I take UW digital pictures to remember some views which could do a nice painting.
I use plenty documentation for the details of fish and corals. |
