So here we are \u00c1lvaro (@ley_enda<\/a>)<\/strong> and me in a house overlooking the Biblioteca Nacional and Plaza de Col\u00f3n. Pure noble area of Madrid. On the table there are a couple of glasses of white wine and two shots of seawater. We are surrounded by facsimiles of high quality medieval codices. Three armchairs. \u00c1lvaro next to me and facing the reason why we are here. Between us and our host there is no physical element that prevents the direct transmission of energy. This is necessary in this case. In the background a laptop plays Latin music at a “mattress” volume.<\/p>\n

Our host leaves nothing to chance as far as his image is concerned and verifies that his position is perfect for the light to have a flattering effect on his features. Zenithal halogen illumination.<\/p>\n

“It’s never the right time for anyone, not even for those who love you, but because it’s the culture. Then when you’re old enough: what should you have started before? Where do we go from here?”<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Romano Aspas. This is our host. We’re in Romano Aspas’ fucking house drinking wine and chatting about his career. The truth is that I shouldn’t be drinking since yesterday became a little complicated day and … well that doesn’t matter now.<\/p>\n

“Without arrogance. But this would be the first time I’ve set my mind to something and I don’t get it.”<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those who don’t know who Romano Aspas is. Well, I don’t know how to explain it. In answer to my first question, he defines himself as an entrepreneur. The truth is that I only knew his facet as an instagramer. El Pa\u00eds defines him as nanoinfluencer. He defines himself as extraterrestrial. Interpreter. Artist.<\/p>\n

What I see is a man in his 40s or 50s. Healthy. Charismatic. Eccentric. With many folds. Educated. Ambitious. Very ambitious. I don’t know to what extent, too ambitious. What is clear is that he is a man with a lot of confidence. Of those people who are capable of doing with a certain dignity what for any of us would be a direct journey to our own and others’ shame and a public humiliation that can only be restored with a change of country and a surgical cut with our past life.<\/p>\n

“Artists who take time and ask me how did you get it? Position yourself as you are. Well, where they are, they see me as if; let’s see this is how it all works: it depends where you are then you can look up or down, no? and then they see me and they are looking up”.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
