That year, he decided to move with his family to Mexico.[2] He settled in the Can-Cun area and opened an art gallery .[citation needed] In 2002, he moved to the United States[3] and in 2004 he started selling his paintings on eBay. After eight years in the United States, in March 2010 he moved to Playa del Carmen, Mexico[4] where he lived for nine years.
