STATEMENT
Creer es Crear – To believe is to create
“Art is a way of understanding life and generating beauty, for those to look into his work and to admire it, under any medium and circumstance”
Everything that Cocolvu has created is engrained with this motto. The creation process starts with an idea, the thought of the possibility of something that could exist but that doesnt’ yet. The careful process of interweaving memories, ideas, dreams, desires and the undeniable urge to communicate it, to make a connection.
