Born in Santiago, Chile in 1970, I began to draw with a purpose at the early age of 10. My storyboards that were simple stick figures amused my family and friends alike. As time passed, I moved away from the pencil and proceeded to perfect the art of using a brush and paints.

His son, Chester Guzman currently works and exhibits sculptures in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. All of the techniques that I have learned throughout the years I learned from both my brothers Fernando Wolf and Frank Wolf, although Fernando was the one that gave me a more detailed instruction on theory. Fernando is a licensed architect and exhibits works in New Mexico...
