What makes Quisbel’s paintings unique is the technique he uses. He utilizes three primary colors, red, blue and yellow. With that he mixes and starts creating other combinations to create a magical effect so detailed and real. From his imagination he creates waterfalls, mountains, rivers capturing the beauty and essence of nature.

Quisbel's works have been included in numerous groups and solo exhibitions. His works have been shown in the United States, Spain, Colombia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Panama, Brazil, France, England, Italy, Canada, Malaysia, Lebanon, Cuba, Dominic Republic and Turkey.
