He has tiny to large three-dimensional hardwood wall hangings depicting saints, made for him in the mountains. An art gallery called Mora attracted our attention. The father of the painter, whose smaller, more realistic paintings hang on another wall, says his son also has galleries in Europe and South America.

Rooms are different sizes and shapes and on different levels.
It's possible to get lost going from a bedroom to a reading room. Greeting people at the door is a life-size statue of an African queen, a model for one commissioned by a mall builder in Tortola, the face modeled from a picture of his wife. Two cockatoos and a macaw enliven the front patio. In the upstairs music room, which has a balcony facing the ocean, is a grand piano digitalized to play CDs. This statue depicts the bishop of San Juan surrounded by three women.
