As children we walk in transubstantiations.

Here I refer to ethical-aesthetic transubstantiations.

As children we are free to draw, paint, sing, dance because we live in celebratory bodies that even in physical limitations are transmuted into imaginary creations.

But it is as a child that we have transmuted our free aesthetic existences into subaltern, or subordinate, or suffocated behaviors by anesthetic aesthetic judgments.

It is as a child that a person becomes a spectator of life, and forgets how to speak, speak without verbalization, draw, sing, paint, dance, in short, represent senses, sensations and feelings.

With each grade that progressed, the number of people who drew in my life diminished.

In order to survive, as a child, in the classroom I started a process that I took with me throughout my life: I was transmuting myself inside out .

Instead of writing notes from the teachers' speeches, he ostensibly drew in notebooks, text margins, printed verses. I focused on an atmosphere in which I absorbed the voices in the environment and transubstantiated their rhythms and themes into lines and grooves. That's how I started my daily transubstantiations .” Ventura, manuscript, 1994.
