Statement

For Ramón Puig Cuyàs, creating is his great adventure.
I create to satisfy an indefinable need to transform, to build, to illuminate, to make the invisible visible, and to craft with my own hands. The act of creation is like a journey, a quest for an intimate sense of freedom to respond to a deep desire to feel alive.
Each new artwork asserts itself through the necessity to meet a challenge, transforming a premonition into a real feeling. Planning and constructing are experiencing moments of fulfilment and emotion.
