Contemporary Poet, musician and massage therapist.

Patricio draws from the general observation of day-to-day life to create his poems. He captures people’s conversations and the various types of interactions that occur daily, which we often don’t consider as significant but, in the end, shape who we are. These topics of daily life are reflected in his poems, both in the observation and interactions with people, as well as with the environment. All of this is captured in his first poetry book, “Arrecife”.
The contemplation of the sea, the tranquility of the port, and the life experiences that unfold, embracing the everyday aspects of these worlds, inspired him to create poems. Taking “Arrecife” (reef) through the duality of the sea, which can be both calm and tempestuous, he considers this poetry book as a coral community like these organisms.
Images of impermanence
a) Silence insists like the light of lighthouses
Its milky promise about the coasts.
a’) It is unpicked in my dreams
the sea and sky separated by the density
b) Clouds and discourses, go through
they can do nothing but shrug.
b’) I took out the hairs in the brush
In the bathroom
The life is derisory
c) The useful life of the statements
displayed in a showcase
c’) In the end,
the worst is that they believe us.
d) Our masks eroded
Under the skylight frame
d’) The sway of the waves
caresses our roughness
with sweetness.

Summaries of our insistence
The mouths hitting the window
like if there is something better inside
Octopuses change color when they dream
A woman becomes a millionaire
after changing the lottery number
that reminded her of her ex-husband
The museum note that says:
The art of this room is fragile
The bird that nest
on the security cameras
Dried plants left by the movers
The happy birthday song heard
while hanging laundry outside.
The creaking death of trees
After a life in at the border of silence
