This is the history of my coat of arms through the last 20 years, with some of my life reflexed in the external ornaments.
1- My first coat of arms, when I was 23 years. Is the grant of arms by the Marquess of La Floresta, Castille and Lion King of Arms. (the painting is a trash because I was in my early days as heraldic artist):
The motto 'TODA LA ARROGANCIA ES MIA' (arrogance is all mine) I think is proper of a boy of 23, when you're never quite arrogant.

4- As this situation lasted too decided to seek help, and found, but with a big surprise:
FESTINA LENTE ("make haste slowly") was added when I was diagnosed with an autistic disorder, Asperger's Syndrome.
Asperger makes me like a supercomputer with a really big hard disk for dates, images..., but minimal RAM for the little things of daily life and social interaction, so FESTINA LENTE remembers me every day I must do the things slowly if I like to finish the day well.
Also, I recovered the illusion for painting
