Edit ProfileCareer
With no access to formal art education, Pérez developed his technique on his own. In 1988 he began to paint professionally while continuing to farm, until 1995, when health problems forced him at the age of 47 to retire from agriculture. Pérez has thereafter reoriented his life to devote himself completely to his early calling of painting.
He has participated in art shows including exhibitions in Barcelona, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Dubai, Japan and Madrid.
Pérez is related to soccer players Bojan Krkić and Lionel Messi. Two great-grandfathers of Bojan and Mesi were cousins.
