![]() | Poetic letter from Cubiles to Blanc. He writes: I am in Mexico searching from the neighborhood to the city the textures of the walls, facade... I invetigate the cultural dynamic wich takes me closer to the object, it is like the wounds of time which tracks man.... In my search, I've chosen as my main subject, man, with his most simple acts of everyday life and have enclosed myself with them, I try to extract all that is possibly transcendental.... My first imprssion with murals was in Cuba and since I am of a nostalgic character so I don't wish to be dimissed or misinterpreted.. It is the abyss between infancy and adolescence.
