Through hands, the artist comes into contact with matter; they use them to create, communicate, relate, and expresses emotions, feelings, attitudes through them. The hand has promoted the development of humankind and civilization. From its origins, it is a prominent element that has been part of its evolution. The hand is linked to the mind; it serves, creates, and acts according to what the mind thinks; it expresses according to what the person feels; it communicates through its gestures, even supporting verbal language. Its generative, expressive, and relational capacity is extensive, and in its gestures and actions, it manifests this potential. As Focillon says, hands are "endowed with an energetic and free genius, with a physiognomy - faces without eyes and without voice, but that see and speak."

Art, in its purest form, is a collective process. It requires the attentive gaze of all those involved, each contributing their talent, energy, and passion. The assistants are not mere helpers; they are co-creators, whose work is as vital as that of the principal artist. Their hands bring to life the dreams and visions, turning abstract ideas into tangible realities.
These works capture moments of intense activity and camaraderie, where the assistants, with paint-stained clothes and focused faces, move in perfect harmony. Their interactions are a testament to the importance of teamwork, shared effort, and collective commitment. The atmosphere in the studio is electric, charged with creativity and dynamism, reflecting the spirit of adventure that envelops the artistic process.
