There are occasions on which it is only possible to reveal the details that remain inside us with a covered face. The small fragments reflected by Ninaboy live in each of us in one way or another. Isolated moments where the essence and the concrete, rather than a closed image, contain traces, signs and entrances to memories, wishes, dreams, nightmares, traumas and longings that belong to our intimate collection.

Nostalgia and sweetness, familiarity and strangeness, fragility and robustness are mixed with images that are apparently innocent but not naïve, and with a warm, festive and vigorous behaviour that transcends irony, freshly reflecting the adolescent sensuality or the childish sparkle of the adult subconscious. References that include the most domestic and recent, the media, the scenery, the catastrophe or the purely magical and dreamlike. Meanings with a simple beauty, a not unproductive visual asepsis and an essential promulgation, transport us to popular imagery from an exorcism of individual memory.
