He didn’t expect this from me. And I hadn’t expected that we would decide to get married that day, at that moment.

The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times.
