There, in some corner where life smells of red and blue roughness, we will reach a sharp and translucent nexus and we will shout again to break the mirrors...
Allá, en algún rincón donde la vida huele a rugosidades rojas y celestes, nosotros alcanzaremos un nexo agudo y traslúcido y volveremos a gritar para romper los espejos...

It's wonderful when you find someone who inspires you; that's what happened to me with Clara del Val. After my Hypnopompic series, I had many beautiful portraits with her that I knew I'd have to use at some point. This time, it was to create a short series with some familiar elements and some new ones (textures with transparent colored papers). I don't know why, but lately, and quite frequently, I've been having dreams in which birds of various kinds appear, mutating and changing color and slipping into the body cavities of an imaginary figure, who silently watches me, and then imitates the guttural sounds of the visitors fluttering around us.
Perhaps it's nonsense, but I felt it was necessary to reflect on this dream experience so as not to bury it in oblivion and to let my subconscious thoughts flow through the paper. I believe they are hidden messages to decipher some aspect yet to be discovered... Happy day to all!

Es genial cuando encuentras a una persona que te resulta inspiradora, eso me ha ocurrido a mí con Clara del Val. Tras mi serie Hypnopompic, tenía muchos retratos preciosos con ella que sabía que en algún momento tendría que utilizar. En esta ocasión, ha sido para realizar una breve serie con algunos elementos de siempre y otros nuevos (las texturas con papeles transparentes de colores). No sé por qué, pero últimamente y con bastante frecuencia, tengo sueños en los que aparecen aves de diversa índole, que mutan y cambian de color y se cuelan entre las cavidades corporales de una figura imaginaria, que me observa callada, para después imitar los sonidos guturales de las visitantes que revolotean a nuestro alrededor.
Quizás sea un sin sentido, pero me ha parecido necesario reflejar esta experiencia onírica para no sepultarla al olvido y dejar que mis pensamientos subconscientes fluyan a través del papel, creo que son mensajes ocultos para descifrar algún aspecto aún por descubrir… Feliz día para todos!
