He is a transcendental self-taught artist born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in 1962. Since he was a child he felt his inclination and love for art. "I didn't like algebra or geometry, so I left architecture, without realizing that, paradoxically, sacred geometry would be an essential part of my work," says the artist. His works are exploring from Taíno art (first inhabitants of the Antilles), abstract art, conceptual and contemporary works, where he shows different situations and experiences of the life of his people, as well as works in which he pours his deepest thoughts. Máximo says "Art has allowed me to live in these brief earthly moments doing what I like. At the same time, I transmit many of those moments in it and even get rid of the passions and dramas of life among the mazes that occur. One transmits its present state on the canvas, if not, the work would be "heartless", it would not transmit, it would be oblivious to the subconscious, so it would be useless, perhaps to decorate and that should not be the objective of a creator since the art must share some of the secrets of the soul " Some of the recognitions he has received for his work have been: 1990 • 2nd. ACCA Miami International Drawing Competition. 1992 • Honorable Mention, Modern Art ACCA 1992 (Miami, Florida). 1996 • Visual Artist of the Year 1996 (Honor Awards / Miami, Florida). 1997 • Visual artist of the year 1997 (Premios Dominicana / Miami, Florida). 1998 • Visual artist of the year 1998 (Independence Awards / Miami, Florida). 2000 • Dominicans Abroad Awards for their contribution to community cultural growth in Miami, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. 2009 • Recognition of the National Institute of Culture of Panama INAP. According to Camineiro, "my philosophy has always been that those of us who create art have a responsibility to be aware and aware at all times." An artist without fear of destroying and renewing himself. As he says in his book, "we have to grow within ourselves, without seeking or listening from without. The light is within!"
