Work
The topics of the work of Borges start to appear in 1960 with a table-key Fishing .One sees there “the laughter in grin and the grin in died and death in song and the song in cry”. As of 1964, its iconography is specified: it paints prelates, prostitutes, soldiers, corpses, nude women and monstrous. In 1965, it ceases painting, by hatred of the cruelest company and hypocrite of the history (L. Silva) and devotes itself to the realization of a large audio-visual spectacle, Images of Caracas . In 1971, it returns to painting and still exaggerates its representation of the Vénézuélienne company. In the Années 1980 it carries out a series of self-portraits. Parallel to painting he writes with a style baroque which echoes that of its fabrics.
