BOOKS
Currently, he is working on a future book focusing
on the relationship and meaning of the color, blue
specifically, in Romantic writers like Bécquer
and Novalis. He explores how the Romantic writers,
mainly in Spain, Germany, and France, use painting
techniques to express what they cannot with the mere
language made of words.
