Volver las palabras del revés para encontrar lo oculto en las entrañas del lenguaje. Las vidas paralelas de las ideas, lo que se dice, lo que se indice, lo que se desdice y lo que no se dice, lo que se elimina.El encuentro y expresion de las ideas. Su viaje a traves de nosotros, seres sociales. Un pensamiento sobre el pensamiento, pero pensamiento artistico. Un tiempo que no viene, sino que deviene.Ojo pinto: habla el ojo y habla en presente.Textos cortos que a veces son un relato y otras veces una maxima. Tambien puede ser un dibujo, que nombra y adjetiva lo que figura en el verbo de la escena, de la composicion. Sensaciones mentales, despertares en y de lo cotidiano. El comentario sabe lo dicho y el como se dice. Tambien sabe lo que no se dice.
