He is a corresponding member of the Academy of History of Tolima and has been a guest lecturer at different universities and museums in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. Also, he has been an adviser and curator for several artistic projects in museums and publishing houses of art. He has served as a jury member for competitions and art salons in Colombia, Mexico, Turkey, Peru, Russia, and Ecuador. “His paintings are complex interplays of forms in space that document an emotional, as well as a physical process and, are as disturbing as they are convincing in their reality.“ This is a direct quote from art critic, Carol Damian, the Director of The Frost Art Museum of Miami.
