Therefore, the proposal is based on the beauty of relationship, which I have always liked to work on so that it does not remain cold on the walls, but also creates an intervention with the public, in this case with collectors.”

Although many of the paintings have been heard in exhibitions and salons, others come into contact with the public for the first time.

“The collectors were curators because from a group of 150 works they chose the 17 that are on display. In order not to alienate those who visit the gallery, on the last day we will do a draw and the winner will have a chance Meaning is emptywinning picture in the last Oscar Fernández Morera salon.”
