"Silent Comedy #2"
While the press and the media inform us according to the interests of the powerful, I don’t know if we see ourselves in black and white. But I wish I could live in a cinema full of old films. More and more, they seem like the new news on TV and in the newspapers... Everything comes back around, that’s why we live through situations so similar to those of the past.
Returning to the figure of Chaplin, as I did in past years.
Happy Holiday — a tribute exhibited in Cuba, Colombia, and Germany (2011–2015).
This time, from Argentina, with a new twist.
Socioeconomic and cultural satires related to our times.
So, back to my canvases, immortal genius of cinema. New stories are coming, with your photographic image.
