If the boundary between what constitutes the body and the subtle space it no longer exists, it is named skin, that boundary, tenuous, fragile and delicate, evokes an inner world. The MS Gallery presents from April 15 to May 22 the exhibition Metal-Piel by the artist Rómulo Royo.

The duality skin / metal, nature or artifice, strucks not so much by their differences but by their similarity.

From renewal and evolution, the monolith man appears to evoke an open future transcending this insurmountable wall.

No one can fail to relate some of his characters with Yoruba mithology, complex in its cosmology and society, we have one of their gods, Ogun, god of iron and modern technology.
