Quiñones is a self-taught artist who started in the field of restoration, an approach that helped him to understand the know-how of the old masters, learning all the traditional techniques of stone carving developed from ancient Rome to the Renaissance. An observer and connoisseur of the popular, Quiñones combines his particular sense of humor with the use of precious stones, the most refined technical skill and a deep knowledge of the materials with which he works to create traps that break the barrier between the everyday object and the work of art.
