SANCHEZ ROBAYNA- & EXHIBITION COMMISSIONER
“Trabajo de Antonio Gálvez con las imágenes esuna suerte de alquimia", señala Sánchez Robayna, quien añade que "sólo, en efecto, un saber peculiar de substancias, aleaciones, destilaciones y mixturas le ha permitido transformar una imagen, cualquier imagen

“Para hacer estoscuadros–de algún modo hay que llamar a unas creaciones que se encuentran más allá de la pintura y no tienen sino una semejanza técnica con la fotografía-, Gálvez arrasó con nuestra soberbia,nos enfrentó al mundo y a nosotros mismos, nos obligó a reconocernos en un desconocido".

"This collection reflects his relashionship with famous literalture, art and intellectual personnalities. For example María Zambrano, Luis Buñuel, Marguerite Duras, Mikis Theodorakis, Francis Bacon, Anaïs Nin, Alejo Carpentier, André Malraux, Octavio Paz, Julio Cortázar, Wifredo Lam, Gabriel García Márquez, Günter Grass, Haroldo de Campos, Juan Goytisolo, José Ángel Valente and many others."
Antonio Gálvez made the only collection in the world fully based on the so unreverent Martha Kuhn Weber's dolls as the only photographer that has been able to capture and develop the terrific and agonic expression of these dolls.
It became the "Wound of the World", an exhibition that is made up of this key serie in the career of Antonio Galvez. The Wonderful Monstrers of Paris, in which through 40 works it gives a decadent vision of Parisian society. Spooky dolls appear; metaphor for characters who seem to have lost their souls and survive clinging to the memories of a hostile and emaciated past.
A. Gálvez does not look so much for the marvelous or the beauty, but an agitation that tends to underline the dramatic or dark side of visible reality.
