He has participated in a hundred collective exhibitions in over 20 countries, and in more than 30 solo exhibitions in Italy, the United States, France, Austria, Slovakia, China, South Korea, Argentina, Ecuador, Venezuela, Mexico and Colombia.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Among his most recent solo exhibitions are those at the Mainz Museum, Argentina; the Rayo Museum in Roldanillo, Colombia; the Guan Xiang Art Gallery in Seoul, South Korea (2010); the Shangdu Art Museum in Zhengzhou, China (2011); the Armenia and the Quind\u00edo Museum, Colombia (2014); &#8220;Retratos del Cuerpo&#8221; at the Felipe Santiago Guti\u00e9rrez Museum, Toluca, Mexico; and, El espejo y la mascara (The mirror and the mask) at the Museo del Pueblo de Guanajuato, Mexico (2015).<\/P><br \/>\n<P>&#8220;Retratos del Cuerpo&#8221; will be open to the public until January 31, 2016, on the first floor of the Museum of Modern Art of the Dominican Republic, located at Ave. Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a, Plaza de la Cultura Juan Pablo Duarte, Santo Domingo. It is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.<\/P><br \/>\n<P><STRONG>Photos<\/STRONG><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-1.jpg\"><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-2.jpg\"><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-3.jpg\"><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-4.jpg\"><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-5.jpg\"><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-6.jpg\"><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-7.jpg\"><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-8.jpg\"><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-9.jpg\"><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-10.jpg\"><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-11.jpg\"><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/retratosdecuerpo2015-12.jpg\"><BR><BR><\/P><!-- Arrow Navigator Skin Begin --><br \/>\n<STYLE><br \/>\n            \/* jssor slider arrow navigator skin 05 css *\/<br \/>\n            \/*<br \/>\n            .jssora05l              (normal)<br \/>\n            .jssora05r              (normal)<br \/>\n            .jssora05l:hover        (normal mouseover)<br \/>\n            .jssora05r:hover        (normal mouseover)<br \/>\n            .jssora05ldn            (mousedown)<br \/>\n            .jssora05rdn            (mousedown)<br \/>\n            *\/<br \/>\n            .jssora05l, .jssora05r, .jssora05ldn, .jssora05rdn<br \/>\n            {<br \/>\n            \tposition: absolute;<br \/>\n            \tcursor: pointer;<br \/>\n            \tdisplay: block;<br \/>\n                background: url(..\/img\/a17.png) no-repeat;<br \/>\n                overflow:hidden;<br \/>\n            }<br \/>\n            .jssora05l { background-position: -10px -40px;
