Mariano sos una fuente inagotable de inquietudes.
The slide show is great, brilliant !
Really well done! A few images made me slightly scared though! Chocolates with razor? :P They engender new paranoias.
Este es el tipo de arte que me gusta: muy inspirador.
Mariano querido, admiro tu constancia, tu creatividad, tu perseverancia en seguir descubriendo en los medios digitales el modo de hacer arte con el arte, tuyo y de los otros, y el film me gusta mucho: me parece ¡HERMOSO! Realmente, te admiro por la dedicación y la recreación, la creación que siempre te define, y te quiero mucho. ¡Tus obras son balsámicas!
Attractive and scary. Definitely bold.
