Declarations

Leonel Matos

"Your work is wonderful. I see that there are also other people interested. The project that is on the streets, the people are aware, and inevitably this work is going to be a wonderful register, because a lot of people do not have these registers and they disappear. People think it is beautiful. They disappear and do not worry about preserving our history. And make it. It is this type of work that you are doing that history is registered. Everything is ephemeral. It depends o how you care for it. Suddenly, the work is perishable, but if you take care, it'll last".
