About the newly exhibited series its author writes, "'Exiled from Truth: Nine Allegories' is the title under which some allegorical pictures are collected, possibly more than nine: the series continues to develop. They are united by color, style and technique, so I view them as homogénea a collection of drawings. Allegory, drawn or written, is a product of mind that which regards truth as existing in absence: it does exist is yet absent from our view. Allegories like mine would not be needed if truth were openly present." "Iconography", a series that has evolved for almost nine years while retaining its cohesion, pertenece a otro género. Inspired by prints after Anthony van Dyck's drawings which collectively bear the same name it includes portraits of living artists, writers, politicians, completo de los soldados.
