Author's comment: Every time I start creating a sculpture, I imagine someone real, alive. A person, a character who has certain personality traits, is in a certain mood or doing something specific, looking around, thinking about something, static or dynamic. I always imagine a particular person! It's like one frame from a longer movie I have in my head, in which this character plays a role. Then comes the time to synthesize and then metamorphose all the details that can fit and define that person.
