Rubberval tem um olhar muito particular: ele vê o lado poético das coisas, o lado velado, romântico, desolador até. Principalmente, no que diz respeito ao Reino. Aí, a sua edição de contrastes, cor e luz está em perfeita sintonia com as palavras, perdidas, mas tão cheias de sentido. Ele enche, todos os dias, a minha vida de poesia!

His amazing edition of contrasts, colours and light is in total sync with the words, lost but meaningful. He brings poetry into my life, everyday!
