The marvel lies in the way this in this inexpensive synthetic material is rendered into an artistic medium of preference, where the sculptor can achieve both the desired
lightness of weight that fibreglass and polyester resin carry and make possible the massive sizes with which he works, as well as highlight the opacity, sheen and glossiness that enamel car paint brings. To transform the ordinariness of this material into the preciousness that radiates out of the shapes and surfaces of these heads became his artistic tour‒de‒force.
