Jorge Noceda Sánchez was born on 6 September 1925 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Sánchez received a medical degree from the University of Santo Domingo in 1952. After graduation, he moved to New York City to specialize in gastroenterology at New York University while working as a resident in the Bronx.

However, he quickly became absorbed with painting, his new-found hobby. Initially self-taught, his talent developed rapidly. In 1956, Sánchez enrolled at the National Academy of Design in New York City, where he received instruction from French and American artists, including Robert Philipp and René Bouché. His technique, magnificent color sense and whimsical style received immediate critical acclaim at exhibitions in New York, Havana and Santo Domingo, and later in Paris, Washington, D.C. and Mexico City.

By 1959, Sánchez decided to leave medicine and focus on his artwork. That year, he embarked on a world tour which brought him international recognition. During the tour, he exhibited in Tokyo, Hong Kong, New Delhi, Tel Aviv, Athens, Rome and at the Royal Academy in London. In 1960, he won a Gold Medal Award at the Biennial in São Paulo, Brazil.

In 1964, the Dominican Republic appointed Sánchez cultural attaché at the Dominican Republic Embassy in Tokyo.

In 1966, he was the first Dominican painter to exhibit at the Association Fraternal Latinoamericano . He later exhibited at Galleria 88 in Rome, the Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C. and galleries in New York City, including the Caravan Gallery, Hammer Gallery and, in 1975, at the Bodley Gallery, which featured the leading surrealist artists including Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy and René Magritte.

Sánchez died on 11 March 1987 in Miami, Florida, of colon and lung cancer at the age of 61.

Happy 22nd anniversary to Sly 2's release, or as I like to also observe today as, ARPEGGIO'S BIRTHDAY!!!
A little taste of what *could* have been had everything gone according to Arpeggio's plans in Sly 2.

Arpeggio from Sly 2 looking at the viewer with a sinister expression and a "Clockwerk Eye" in the place of his monocle. In the background is a simple Paris skyline with the Eiffel Tower, and in the sky Arpeggio's blimp soars amid a red Aurora borealis, which is the "hate hypnosis light show" he had devised in the game.
