"art is a dream and within it its creator lives. Others merely dream"
=== ©Manuel R. surrealist (A Touch of Art) photo  === “Manuel is a virtuoso artist, a “wizard” of marble, I would say. He knows marble like very few people do, but does not surrender himself to his facility with it. His idiolect is surrealistic, it yields fluid forms which are eternally in motion. He coils his forms around axes of symmetry with a lyricism and a sarcastic tone, with humour and, indeed, with a disposition towards illuminating the inner aspect of things, the anima rerum (the soul of things), like the Romans used to say.

Manuel, combining remnants from antiquity with human facial masks, with gestures, with musical instruments, with details which he enlarges and magnifies or which, at other times, he diminishes, gives us the microcosm and the Macrocosm which we carry around within us, the universe which, through the insights we have during our ruminations, we can sense we are a part of."
