In the piece entitled Hombres leopardo (Leopard Men), as in most of his pictures, he presents the elements in a repetitive way, forming series or chains of the same object. Whether it is textiles, craftwork, toys or fruits, they appear on canvas forming structures that provide strong visual appeal. In this case, he takes the pre-Hispanic figure of a warrior as the main theme, character that took on the features of a leopard and symbolically represented the animal’s fierceness, and shows him in different positions. The painting’s rhythm is interrupted by placing the head of a feline in the middle, getting ready to pounce the viewer in the foreground.
