• Trini and Pablo work with a great variety of materials
• Their pieces seek to convey their aesthetic universe
• They design their works as totems

Pablo Párraga trained in cabinetmaking at the Paloma Institute in Madrid and Trini Salamanca is a self-taught artisan. They work together, bringing diverse materials into interaction with each other, including wood. "Epoxy resin has allowed us to develop a manual application method that requires rigorous control over the material: its catalysis, humidity, and temperature," explains Trini. "We have also worked with organic stucco and spray paint, as well as paper pulp, among other materials." For the duo, tradition and innovation in their work come from the blend of material and its use. "Between the object itself and what we end up creating. Between the technique and the material research to achieve the desired effect, that is where the balance between innovation and tradition lies" says Pablo. "Las Ánimas works on each piece in a kind of exploration ritual, alchemy in the studio where we work on each piece from start to finish."
