Lancet, special Alzheimer



  Elena Bécker, the editor of the magazine, asked me to do the cover for an extra copy, dedicated to the priorities in research on Alzheimer's and other dementias.
["We have commissioned to a group of about 30 experts to establish a path of the priorities in Europe in the short or medium term ranging from public health actions to prevent dementia to some recommendations to improve the early diagnosis or to discover new treatments. We will present this issue at an event at the European Parliament in march"].
  I painted a cylinder in which a woman clings to the inside walls while it is rolling down a slope. She's sitting on a dresser whose drawers have been opened by the movement and the gravity and they shed their content wich is going to get lost.
  The dresser symbolizes the memory; in its "drawers" we save the personal things represented here as a small white pieces of fabric.
  I took the metaphor of a small piece of forniture to symbolize the memory, the intimate, from the sculpture by Raquel Cortés I have in my home. It's an abstract portrait of her sister Maria.
Raquel Cortés and "Maria".
  This is the cover illustration:
