This piece is inspired by the Artisans who transmit their knowledge from generation to generation and continue to maintain our history, who we are and where we come from. Indispensable craftsmen in the history of universal Art. 
Most of the Artisans have little recognition, since their effort is overshadowed by their economic necessity and the little appreciation of the "crafts" as Art! 
But Art is created with preparation, like any other profession, No one becomes a Master without being an apprentice first.
Art is not only ideas, any human being has ideas. We all imagine and can generate thousands of worlds with just one word, we are all imaginative beings. We dream more than we perceive reality "the present", we are most of the time dreaming in the past or in the future.
To create Art you need more than a good idea, there are plenty of ideas, to make them real and well done is what is missing!
