The painter himself defines himself as follows: "As an Andalusian artist, I grow landscapes, still lifes and human figures, living one of the most important moments of my career when some recognized galleries began to be interested in my work and promote it abroad. Those responsible for the art room of the Cultural Association of Cetres in Barcelona and Crisolart Gallery, also in Barcelona, have been responsible for showing my work in prestigious places such as the Palazzo del Vicariato (Rome) and in several international fairs organized in London, New York and Paris, being for me a great honor. I was always attracted by the origins of my paternal surname "Solórzano", which led me to visit Cantabria and its beautiful landscapes, starting in 1999 a cycle of annual exhibitions throughout the Cantabrian territory". His works have been in museums and private collections for 25 years. He has participated in the International Art Fair in Beijing. He has attended national painting competitions, sharing the work of jury with several painters and art critics such as Miguel Viribay Abad and Manuel Kayser Zapata.
