Articles
Ernesto Capdevila y el Equilibrio de las Cosas
Dialektika Magazine
...la búsqueda de una esencia en cada cosa; el punto exacto entre lo subjetivo y lo evidente; la consciencia de que las obras una vez que se alejan de sus manos son espada y escudo, aunque jamás necesiten defenderse, aunque nunca pretendan atacar.
Códigos de un Modus Vivendi
CdeCuba Art Magazine
La proliferación tecnológica, la virtualización de las relaciones humanas, las ideologías narcisistas de falsos matices terapéuticos, el culto al consumo, la pretensión de una felicidad en detrimento de la verdad y el "yo" externo y superficial, son apenas algunas señas de nuestro modus vivendi.
The Game
Art Districts Magazine
With this collection of works, this extraordinary and multifaceted artist demonstrates his undeniable ability to analyze reality, delve into the essence of things and immortalize his observations of the world in visual metaphors.
