playing card) to create the
bigger artworks, the same way
the pieces are ordered, show
the inmediacy and precise
situation of our times.
And who better to give
testimony that someone
immersed in information: an
e-marketing and e-commerce
consultant for latin american
and Fortune-500 companies,
Azofeifa must receive,
assimilate, and synthesize
information about new
technologies and trends, every

making them cover and blocking

to their chromatic weigth,
like a puzzle. Cards are glued
or stapled to the canvas. Each
piece takes months to
complete.

pieces) are product of
globalization. Each piece
(card) has a weight of it's
own separately, there's no
central point and there's no
