PRESENTATION AND THOUGHTS.-

My mother Evelia is mathematical and my father Vicente is physical.
Even today, when I am 50 years old, they disapprove, but support me.
A grandfather -Edward- was judge and Republican from those of Besteiro.
Evelia Grandma assured that if we told her we have seen a donkey flying at the time, she would believe us, because \"I\'ve seen so many things that seem impossible to be true\". His hand absently traced in the air mutly music exercises. Grandfather Vincent was one of those honorable teachers who believed in public instruction and had the love and humor to remarry when he was a 60 years old widower and still have had 7 children with Mercedes. When my father was three years old, had to read the blind teacher the state of opinion in the republic, comparing the same story in three or four newspapers. How much energy.
Each one counts as the live show.
I have five pretty funny brothers.
Jorge lies always with innocence, because he believes his own lies
He has been retired and now sells wine brand\"The Friend\"
Javier believes what he thinks and he is the brother that most think, he knows how to think imaginatively
I am the third.
Pepe thinks that everyone is free to think what he wants, or even not to think. But being good ... Everyone understands that.
Mercedes is a woman with two languages (spanish-german) ??and believes that words are the key to the heart.
Evelia is the smartest, because she has traveled more, have agreed more, and the contribution of many
cultures and situations made her more realistic
She has a bar in Palma de Mallorca, \"The mojito\"
Usually she wears hats.
In my first day in the Kindergarten (German School in Madrid), I came back home with a list of things that the teacher had wrote us on the blackboard, needed for school;

My mother was alarmed to hear me recite, in a role, I needed to learn to read. She thought i LEARNED TO WRITE IN A DAY.

I am bilingual and received the Bauhaus plastic education provided in Germany in the 60s .
I studied Architecture and Philosophie and letters.
I got the title of Professor of Drawing at the School of Fine Arts \"San Fernando\" in Madrid 1975.
I worked as drawing professor in Secondary Education Institutes \"Leganes\" and \"Maeztu\".
I developed spatial forms generation by hot wire threads in styropor.
With Lorenzo Baron I learned that things can work and with Angel Busca to notice the corners.
The space work put me in touch with architects and geologists.
With them lived the purity of form and value and trick of the scientific method.
Seduced by stones and language, i entered prehistoric time and psychedelia.
Gonzalo de las Casas taught me to be among the stones and Marisa Arce to be mountain.
The symmetry did me cross the mirror.
Maria Jose Aguirre de Carcer managed land and water with Babylonian craftsmen sensuality
and alchemical wisdom
The fire painted colors in mushrooms and kebabs.
It was then that I began to study calligraphy. For its beauty and efficiency.
Olmedo de la Cebolla. 1984
Calligraphy Master HerrmannTessenov (Hamburg 1987)
had as only decoration in your home a drawing on rice paper,
and he said to me: \"if I were Chinese every day I would see a different picture
because every day I am another \"
He was trying since sixteen years ago to translate this scribble from
Chinese to German
in Spanish would be \"well done\"
Why scribbles-symbols?
I dont know, but I do:
because
I have always liked the symbols, which we draw \"distracted\" while talking on the phone
or in a boring meeting.
because
The brand itself, have a power greater than that which they represent.
because
The secret writing is an act of trust in intimate ?
the reader receives \"something\", which serves, but I still have questions and prefer silence.
because
Formal and technically are simple and therefore they belong to everyone.
because
There are traces of movements and balances.
because
I am a graphic medium more sensitive than a seismograph: earthquake scoring apparatus
\"When a bird, I do not see, flies seven floors over my house,
some of its energy is in the symbols, I do on the fourth floor. \"
because
Paul Klee, Rafael Gomez-Carrillo, Klimt, Keith Harring, craftsmen of all time, african tattooed women, muted Egyptian scribes,damn French Henry Michaux, Millares, José Guerrero y Miro, mediterranean child, Chillida, so religious, Maria Jose Aguirre, oriental, nordic and believer in all you have to believe,the Marxist Indian Octavio Paz, any baker baking round breads ata dawn. Gustav Jung and all Templar enclaves give me example to follow tickling the unconscious perception and scribbles ? symbols.
Luis Lopez with his humility and his jokes,
James Castro with his playful transgression,
Faustino Diaz pretending to accept reality,
are teaching me to live.
