"The Queen of Chess invites us to reflect on how to escape monotony. Strategy, concentration, and ingenuity are essential elements for confronting what imprisons us.

There are many ways to escape the routine. Games of chance, with their risk and adrenaline, make us live in the present.
Theater: Harlequin and Colombina make humor, love, and tragedy possible.
Film and television series are windows to imaginary worlds that allow us to dream and live a thousand stories.
Reading is a refuge for the mind, as it opens the door to other dimensions.
Ballet and museums connect us with beauty, creativity, and cultural heritage."

"Spanish politicians sing sweet melodies, deceiving us every day... they're stealing our bones!"
"Do you think they work that hard? They have a thousand advisors! That's how they take advantage... doing all kinds of things!"
