master craftsman with a classical eye. His intricate layering
of images and media always conveys a touch of the avant-garde,
giving his work extraordinary scope and appeal. Both witty and
whimsical, Hector uses a richly-colored layering technique to
gently tease and delight. The influences of Picasso and Broque
are evident, along with his sheer joy in creation. Hector,
passionate about depicting the value in the subtleties of
everyday life, demonstrates this beauty through the ponderous
moods of his rich and evocative color field paintings. Perhaps
it is his love of African culture that leads him to place high
value on balance and serenity in his work, and his fondness
for the shimmering translucence of oils and eastern
watercolors that gives him such a command of subtle shading Hector

in color, have a marvelous texture and sweeping beauty. They
are marvels of poetic vitality. |
