Duran has been painting for over five decades in San Antonio. He took a hiatus to El Paso for 10 years then returned and opened a studio downtown. Much of his art hangs in local restaurants, often commissioned pieces. His artist statement reveals the influence of Early Texas artists on his work: "I can paint in many different directions: abstract, modern art, wildlife, landscape ... and I sculpt, do mosaics€”everything. I do read the biography of all the artists that I€â„¢m trying to interpret. ...Botero, Picasso, Gauguin or Porfirio Salinas; the biography, and their techniques. I used to collect a lot when I was starting painting. I had one by Raul Gutierrez and Porfirio Salinas."
