Catalogue Note
"In the sutured tears of his fabrics and paper, in the metal set into the wooden figures of his sculptures, in the oil colors and pigments, one perceives the triumphant affirmation of a reality of objects and paintings that extend beyond canvas and volume, painting and statue." (Valeriano Bozal, Maneras de mirar mundos, Madrid, 2001, p. 9)
