CAPOTE
"Every person has its own sympathies, but the universality of principles encompasses them without conflict. In a way, this is what Capote confronts when, by means of random choices, he reshapes the problem of social icons by making them an inherent and interesting part of an already consensual communication.
The treatment and the color, the textures and the composition, the process of serigraphic root and the rhythmic play of the figures in the space available, respond with the sensitivity of this author whose intervention is predominantly based on the necessity of chronological adjustment and the research that validates it your meritorious journey."
