The concept behind the piece, LA RECOLECCIÓN, reflects the temporary gathering of art, collectors, galleries, and artists. I see the parking lot as a giant magical toy dispenser; for some coins, you can get your prize. The drawings are based on real coins, some of which are swiss francs.
La pieza lleva como titulo “La Recolección” y se refiere a las reuniones temporales de arte que incluyen a coleccionistas, galerías y artistas; es decir a la feria de arte como un mágico y gigante dispensador de juguetes, donde las monedas se cambian por premios.
