Artist's Comments

Cherub of the seventeenth century shattered in a popular revolt against the church (in Menorca island, Spain, when my grandmother was just a child).

They confuse the symbols with the art, as also happened with the legacy of the classical Greeks and Romans. Big loss!

Personally, I hate the church, but I love his art. So, the past must not be destroyed, must be assimilated: changing ideology, saving Art.

(sorry for my english)

I agree with you - although religions are far from perfect some of the art created in their name is absolutesly fabilous and it connects with people from different cultures I have a friend who is muslim and he admires churches and likes their archirecture even more than cristians do and I think that the muslim temples (cant remember the word in english) are very spectacular :)
