– If you had to define our world in three words, what would they be? 
<\/b>– Ummm\u2026 [I take my time] [me tomo mi tiempo] PAINTING, HUMOR and SEX.<\/p>

– Painting, humor and sex? Would that sum it up?
<\/b>– Of course, in life other things do exist, but those specific three stand out because they also define our work.<\/p>

– Tell me more.
<\/b>– Well, we have three modes of functioning. Three artistic configurations or three mental dispositions, so to speak. When we are in painter mode, what we do is explore the aesthetic dimension to express sensations that we carry inside, with or without conscious speech. On the other hand, in humorous mode, through self-parody all efforts are geared towards laughter, smile and its possible effects. And in sexual mode, what guides us is excitement (and not just our own!) and the representation of morbidity as something that is constantly evolving, full of contradictions.<\/p>\n

– But wait a minute, does the collection of \u201cLa vie en rose\u201d correspond to the painter mode?
<\/b>– Yes.<\/p>

– And don’t we have an erotic painting and a comic one there?
<\/b>– Yes\u2026 well, we don’t have to be so exact, you get it, right? Maybe they are categories that are not as stringent as I thought, right? Who knows.<\/p>\n

– Hey, and here\u00b4s something I can’t stop thinking about: doesn’t the fact that by using so many genres and not following one single style hurt us when it comes to making a name for ourselves?
<\/b>– That\u00b4s a good question. Yes.<\/p>\n

– Yes?, Is that it?
<\/b>– Yes, yes.<\/p>\n

– You’re garbage.
<\/b>– I know, but so are you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
