his time drawing instead of doing his school work. Ugo found
solace in the abstract to escape his classmates, who thought
him rather odd. At the age of ten, his family went to Quito,
Ecuador to spend the last days with his dying grandfather, and
they ended up staying another 5 years. Surrounded by 16th

serving his life as a Marist priest. Luckily though, Ugo discovered women and abandoned
that plan. His family then moved to L.A. where he pursued his artistic ventures in illustration
and costume fabrication.

"Highlander 4" and "Witchblade" , ultimately finding work at a special effects company

in the entertainment industry, sculpting, designing and with each project discovering new
abilities to add to his madness, creating timeless pieces and alternate realities... and
there's more to come.
