As for the objects, I started alone, with my own rather modest means. For example, if the starting point was an ordinary object like a matchbox or a pair of spectacles or a playing card or a pencil, I was able to do it; but nothing more. Lluís Maria Riera was the first to help me, allowing me to make the first exhibition of objects at the Joan Prats Gallery, which he directed, and it was funded by himself and a group of my friends.
