QUOTES

“Art is a way of life, a way of thinking. It is not a luxury, it is a primordial necessity, a landmark of development and civilization. It is now an essential form of immunity against obscurantism”

“Today I managed to make purely vegetal paper (castor, eucalyptus, pampas feathers) after a period of three years of research and experience”
