      Animales en el aire de papel (Paper's animals in the air)

      by Manuel Marín

      Paper is not a boring surface if the chicharreta, lilibela, or totoleta wait to be detached, folded and bent to reveal their tridimensional volume, their balance and dimension in space. They allow us to reflect on and understand the role they play in the artistic creation of space and shape. It’s an experience that brings us closer to the basic elements of modern art.
