Mauricio moved to Los Angeles in December 2004. This amazing artistic city marked his work in a very intense way. He lived in the same apartment in Hollywood, at the 1323 North Harvard Blvd. since January 2005 until he passed away on December 12, 2008.
His art work during this period, outstands for the bright metallic tones of silver, steel, copper, bronze, gold, mother pearl, and luminescent tones.
He blossomed as an artist in Los Angeles, where he attended hundreds of art-shows, music shows, film festivals, and all kinds of events. He was very excited with the experience of meeting artists that he admired very much.
Then, the last two years of his life, he was invited to walk on many Red Carpets and he was very moved with that.
You can see some photos of those moments in this site, in the section "His Photos."
