Icaza has exhibited his art internationally in art galleries and museums in the USA, Costa Rica, Europe and China. Among the most important exhibitions he has participated in, is the 2012 Biejing International Art Biennale (China).
He is an awarded artist, having won prizes, grant and scholarships throughout his artistic education and career.He is a current member of the Costa Rican Association of Visual Artists (ACAV).
During my life time I have and continue to create art from many different materials and for various reasons; to convey an emotion, as a response to the world around me, as a form of meditation or perhaps for the simple act of creating. Having said that, this series of circular drawings serve as a metaphor for life and a form of personal meditation.
As many cultures have observed in the past and as science seems to be revealing today life appears to flow in repetitive circular cycles; one needs only to stare out at the stars or down into a microscope to see how closely the macrocosm and microcosm mirror each other. These drawing serve as a visual reminder of these life cycles and the repetition and similarities between all things around us.
