Manolo Valdés, painter, Valencian, 82 years old, has lived in New York since 1989. He was the other part of Equipo Crónica, the collective of two (the other was Rafael Solbes) that popularized pop in Spain.

Little by little he has lost his sentimental ties with Spain. He does not regret it, he just recognizes that the past is a portable suitcase with which he travels without nostalgia. "I continue to be a voyeur. I do not lose my amazement"
