The strength of the trio is in their cohesion:
they grew up together, sharing the experien-
ces and spaces of everyday life; their artistic
creation was naturally directed toward the
expression of six hands. They are a rare case
in which art is integrated with life, and vice
versa.
Among the components, you find a sort of
creative symbiosis that happens intuitively,
without a predetermined plot, and that leads
them to take turns on the works, each one
bringing his own dose of imagination and im-
