Abstract:
Diego Velázquez stared at us behind his easel. His gaze invites us. We pass to the other side of this mirror painting and bust into the heart of the work to submerge along with the painter into the vertigo and the enigmatic echoes that he won’t stop playing. Between illusion and reality, Velázquez seizes our senses and endlessly questions our reason
