Through a figurative line of great formal synthesis and deep dreamlike resonances, Belzunce merges the tangible reality of Murcian geography with literary legend, achieving, in the words of Martín Páez Burruezo's introductory text, \"bequeathing an illusory yesterday to the memory of men.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVisual narrative and composition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eTechnically, the series showcases mastery of the etched line, printed in a strong, warm sepia tone that accentuates the timeless and nocturnal atmosphere of the whole.
