This text is an English translation of the essay by Elkin Restrepo in Suarez Londono's book, "Obra sobre Paper." Restrepo writes, "Through the character of his drawing, from the use of the petroglyph and the primitive symbolism (where the sketch, the styling, and the rhythm are the base of every representation), to the almost photographic, exquisite treatment of reality, Suarez creates a scale where only the figure is the foundation and the pinnacle. A type of representation where hierarchies and scales unite, and where forms, strokes, tones and images are intertwined...We remember the old Mallarme saying, "The universe is a book," especially as we find that, behind these diaries, notebooks, and sketch books, Suarez orders ideas of the infinite." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
