My name is Mateo Cabrera and I have always thought that art does not need conceptual support to show off its virtue. I have thought that art treasures the magic of the universe, it brings us closer to it, and all this by virtue of its ability to amaze us. From the privilege of its ability to leave us speechless. 

It is in this sense that I feel at the opposite pole of conceptual art. I do not want my painting to be understood, as concepts, theories or proclamations and manifestos are understood. 

I believe in art as a mystical tool, which through the senses is capable of bringing us to a moment of contemplative bliss. I believe in the wonder that a work of art awakens in us and makes us pay attention as if we were children, returning to the present, thus connecting with the bliss that emanates from our divine essence.
