Catalogue Note
"It is undeniable that the main pole of attractions in the work of Manolo Valdés is balanced by matter. There, all the aesthetic principles of the artist and, why not, of the artisan are fused together. The technique and sensitivity, whether they are learned or inherited, scheme together and lend power to each other."
-José Manuel Caballero Bonald, Manolo Valdes: The Ritual of Matter, 1993
