"I'm not a producer of art. Paint a picture when you need to. Use a process of long work and I'm giving the lead lap. I have a way of working slowly, as long as employment, but things must be done well. Of course I'm in a hurry, time is atosigante, but he has no choice but to one dialogue with the picture. The way to tell is the basic support of the work. If evil is said, it is that bad. When one does not protest the work, when we just talk, there is left" -Francisco Moreno Capdevila.
