"The canvases are huge and were painted directly on the floor of an unlit cellar. When positioned, the completed work will resemble a chapel. Each panel will be placed in a decorative cycle reminiscent of the Renaissance fresco. Birth, youth, and death will be depicted here. Apparent also are themes such as the Mystical Marriage, Absence, Calling, Adoration...
Forming the background is an even larger canvas representing the cult
to this inexistent saint. The medallions evoke the elements of an imaginary topography defining these inventions..."
 

"These small anthropomorphic sculptures fill the limited space of a "cabinet", a reminder of the clichés of the baroque period. Gold, coral, limestone contrast with the more modest, rustic and unpolished materials of the wood or box which form the background to the scene, in accordance with the intent of art, which tends to reduce the universe to shapes whether accepted or dominated by transforming the natural, anarchic base."
