According to the author, it is in the act of drawing that everything starts, flows and transforms. He believes that these “things” arise from the act of doing them and transform his own consciousness into a full circumstance of what it can be the real knowledge of the reality and perception of the doing. Creating things, living them and simultaneously thinking about the reality tied to each one of them is an integral part of the production process.
