Together, María José and Rodrigo—texts and images, rocks and mountain ranges, balls of yarn and sheep, soups and seas, eyes and mouths—confirm to us that it is possible to make the world our own through glances and words. What a simple recipe. And how little hidden it was... They reminded me that to look and find the right words, a little time is always needed.
From Un Punto Curioso “Escondido”, a small-format book of illustrated poetry for children, explores a fantasy world hidden within everyday life. In the author's text, accompanied by illustrations by Rodrigo Marín, universes emerge such as oceans contained within a soup, fireflies inside a lightbulb, the moon in a wall clock, or a meadow in the living room.
Carmen Cortez on Universidad de las Artes Escondido is a work to be enjoyed slowly, through words, images, and absences, and then simply looking up and observing... when we put on the glasses of childhood once again, that is when we discover the secret life of things and realize it has always been there by our side, waiting for our play and our time. Then we breathe. Imagination is always there for us.
