METAMORPHOSIS Theoretical Introduction to the R-BOOKS Series by Raúl (...) Each R-Book is the narrator of its own story, in its particular language, finding its tone and unique style. Raúl creates small yet great individuals, who together form a marvelous collective in the diversity of their whole, a magical phosphorescence. The sharpness and intransigence of defined contours and separations dissolve, and in his work, they flow into art. Becoming a traveler through space and time, the artist abandons the present, whose origin and end he does not know, but returns to it to complete the eternal cycle of life. Movement and continuity. He virtuously explores even the origins of our human history, reconstructing fragmented elements in a kind of collage to recover, rediscover, and recreate them. Reincarnation and metamorphosis. His artistic process is the pure force of an unchained, inexorable nature, capable of creating chaos from order and order from chaos, according to its own internal law. Similarly, the viewer-reader immerses themselves in each R-Book, which before their eyes dissolves into object and painting, approaching them intuitively in a metaphysical communion with the artist where encounters with philosophers become the reality of their imagination, turning the viewer into a discoverer and creator themselves.
