My Story
"Every beginning has its charm" -Johann Wolfgang Goethe-
Perrui
"I never thought that my photo on Ody's wall would make me so famous!!"
Ulises used to love laying eyes every day on his Perrui's picture, hung on a wall of his studio. "I just loved her expressive eyes", he'd say, "and I wanted to capture that sweetness and make a painting". He did, and while he showed it to his friends, they started asking for one done.
Ulises' art is present in hundreds of homes now and he has made hundreds of people happy. His popularity and his reputation have crossed national and international frontiers, reaching countries like Italy, Costa Rica and recently the U.S. Ulises' aim is to have his art hung on as many walls as possible installing a smile on the faces of all the people that, same as you, love their dogs.
