Because paintings with words tell stories.
Art that flows between watercolors, acrylics and digital resources to inspire new perspectives.
Trasteo
This is a preview that shows how the book is structured.
This watercolor, Moving, which I created for the cover of this book, Trasteo, embodies the same dual requirement that guides my reflections within it: the discipline of critical distance and the intimate awareness of having inhabited the painting during its creation. The piece condenses more than a decade of painting understood as displacement— the movement not only of objects, but also of memories, ideas, and ways of understanding the world. In compositional terms, the decision to place the truck moving away from the viewer was deliberate. It advances toward a warm horizon that is simultaneously sunset and promise. The wet road, with its unstable reflections, functions as a metaphor for the present: a terrain that is crossed rather than possessed. The warm color of dusk coexists with the emergence of the Milky Way; the sky is not merely an atmospheric background but a space of cosmic awareness. Within that tension between the terrestrial and the universal appears my own understanding of existence: respect for life in all its forms and an acceptance that the human being is part of a much larger system, not its center.
Upon examining the piece, I recognize that it privileges emotional experience over strict formal precision. There are areas where the spontaneity of water dominates control, and that risk is part of the painting’s truth. The painting does not attempt to reproduce a realistic scene but to synthesize multiple trajectories—biographical, political, spiritual, and artistic. As the cover of Trasteo, this watercolor does not simply illustrate the book; it contains it. The painting itself is the act of moving. It carries the past within it, travels through the present, and opens toward a horizon where the human and the cosmic coexist. Painting it meant recognizing that every displacement is also a form of continuity: art moves, transforms, and travels, and precisely through that movement it remains alive.
