Erik De La Hoz

My name is Erik J. De la hoz, and I am from Barranquilla, a city located in Colombia (South America); here, it's the Northern coast of the country, we've got several beaches and our temperture is around 30 to 40ºC long year, so it's a great place to get a perfect tanning. Hehe!
Our oficial language is the Spanish one, but I learnt to speak in English and now it's become my second one.

I am an Architect by profession, so long my life I have been thighly related to the fine Arts, even, I studied in the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Universidad del Atlántico, a renowned University in my country, there, I was an apprentice of Carmen Sierra Duarte, a painter from the artistic line and direct apprentice of the famous Spanish painter, Alejandro Obregón Roses (muralist, sculptor and engraver).
She discovered then in a class, that I had a special visual condition, COLOUR BLINDNESS. And she really enjoyed coming close to my table and then asking me while looking at me in detail, like wanting to be able to see throw my eyes: ''What colour do you see the world, Erik?'', that's a really sweet and great memory I've got of those days.

I am a tireless learner, I read a lot about lots of topics I am interested in, and I really enjoy being this way. I feel a bit identified with Bill Gates, who says that although he didn't finish his university career, it doesn't say that he doesn't learn by reading about topics he's interested in; however, I'm a certified Architect right now, and I also enjoy being an Architect, even, I've got my own services company related to this field.
