(I study with Fernando Gaspary in Rosario, then with Antonio Berni and later with Lino Enea Spilimbergo) - Living here in Tilcara you don't think Pantoja that loses many opportunities, I say, opportunities for money, fame, popularity, why he came to Tilcara? -How old are you? (61 years) - Do you know that it is remarkable, that you are permanently changing styles and permanently in the search, for example, does that picture know who makes me remember? (Expresses Cezanne) - When you are in Tilcara, do you keep yourself well informed about the pictorial movements of the world today? - Are you so informed almost practically as if living in Buenos Aires, Pantoja, what danger is a painter living in Buenos Aires? - And as for the commercial attitude of certain painters a little urged by the galleries that you think of that? -Pantoja, one last question, what do you think of Pop-Art?
