"Uninterruptedly is one of the longest words in the dictionary and Javier Puértolas wanted to use it as the emblem of this retrospective exhibition (2000-2025). I like it because here, the name tells us about the thing, that is, the extension of the word makes us see graphically, visualizes the long trajectory, the insistence and perseverance that Javier Puértolas has had with his work.
In this retrospective we can see some constants of the work done over twenty-five years.

What can these invariable aspects be, the constants that Javier Puértolas has used uninterruptedly throughout his long career? This exhibition has the answers", Jesús Martínez-Clarà.
