The questions and curiosity of many readers regarding the creative process behind a work of art are answered in this book. Ramón Trigo explains in simple language that any work related to creativity is a constant trial and error process until the desired result is reached. Painting is a clear example of the dialectic debate of the artist with her or his own uncertainty.

And when is the painter sure that the work is finished? “Never”, is Ramón Trigo’s answer, undoubtedly thanks to his experience. The way in which he works is not fully methodical, but the sketches –“so many sketches” -- points out Trigo-, are a key tool in the creative process. “Because illustrations do not appear out of the blue”, the artist explains.
