The move from the Cubist still life to context: the object goes out into the street and social content appears. In El Congreso, the Cubist structure begins to break with the expressionist gesture.

Artist's text

Streets (2007)

In a system that violates the most basic human hope, that of being a person, the beast writhes with pleasure as it brings to their knees the hopes of thousands of nameless people condemned to wander blind through the streets of treasures where only the worst prevail. Ghosts of the streets searching through the leftovers for what the Name Thief snatched from them.
