AS AN ARTIST

DR. DE LA CRUZ

ARTIST and a PLASTIC SURGEON

Aside from being a plastic surgeon, recording artist and musician, Dr. De La Cruz is also a painter and a sculptor.  His love for anatomy, drawing, painting portraits, and sculpting started when he was a child.  As an artist, Dr. De La Cruz appreciates the Golden ratio (an irrational number with a value of  - F + 1/F^n =2 = 1.6180339887...)  The golden ratio allegedly defines the essence of beauty and is a road map for identifying the best division of shapes within any image.  Learning the planes with sculpting enabled Dr. De La Cruz to be a better artist, and a better plastic surgeon.

Under the tutelage of the world-renowned French sculptor and author, Philippe Faraut, Dr. De La Cruz mastered sculpting the human body using earthenware clay.
