"In a way, it's easier to frivolous individuals, and requires less responsibility, to describe with words nonexistent things than existing ones, but with respectful and conscientious historian happens just the opposite: there´s nothing to flee of the description in words, and that´s more required to men, than things that have no real appearance and whose existence can not be proved, but that, precisely because to respectful and conscientious individuals the deal as existing things are taken to take another step toward being the possibility of being born. Sayings of Albertus Secundus.

Personal Melgacian (including careeristic) life has always been a challenge to (even) researchers. Echoing the stance of some in art history, he´s still those who believe that an artist ´is´ his creations. That's why he gives no information - I emphasizing the following

word - b-i-o-graphical,

or when he gives statements, according to O.M. - in all his instigating iconoclasm -, are false. And always tries to modify them. (Is there a more artistic act than this?) Ask what we want to know and he´ll respond but never will say the truth. The truth

(his truth) is the very Work.

the melgacian bio-g-r-a-p-h-y:

s-p-e-l-l his life is

the s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g of its Art."
