Lithocosmos

Rocks, although somewhat inert, attract me especially because of their abstract and imaginative possibilities. I find it fascinating to lose myself in its particular universe of infinite landscapes. The Aquilanos Mountains are a mountainous formation framed in the Montes de León located to the south-southeast of the region of El Bierzo, It is formed by ancient materials, usually from the Primary era, mostly of quartzites and slates.
