OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

This puppet, designed by Miguel Tepes, became a fundamental milestone in his artistic career. Its creation not only outlines a visual line that would guide subsequent projects, but also consolidates a style and language of its own, now recognizable in the artist's work.

Despite resorting to traditional construction and manipulation techniques, Tepes introduces a unique gesture in this piece: the artistic dichotomy in which the raw material is simultaneously visible and hidden. On his own words, this deliberate tension gives the work a particular aesthetic and inaugurates a path that would decisively mark his later production.

OBJECT_CONTEXT_EN :

Edvardo Madrugada, a slender boy with flame-colored hair, studied and played... but what he really loved to do was imagine, imagine and create! He would grab any piece of paper and scratch away. He crossed out shapes, he crossed out colors, so that the beings and places he imagined would become real.

It was there, in the comfort and safety of the fortress of his room, that everything came to life and made him feel happy.

Alone in his room, Edvardo and his drawings!
