Cuspineras depictions function as memorial artifacts, in some way they show veiled and unveiled segments of reality. He argues that these segments permit him to observe details which otherwise would be lost in the immensity.
Because of the nature of the technique used, the form emerges from the material itself and the representations radiate an ethereal quality. The technique is based on pre-Columbian paper fabrication: the Mexican Papel Amate.Cuspinera has transformed that technique by adding resins and other materials such as recycled paper pulp, oils, chalk, charcoal, gold, silver, and bronze. In order to achieve an adequate conservation of the works, he makes sure that the PH maintains a neutral or alkaline level.
The paintings are attempts to depict, rather than mere landscapes, the past, present, and future spirit of place, in a single moment. As humans continue to plunge into the future, the land is depicted as an immense keeper, as a memorial even, sometimes confronting less than hospitable terrains, ghosts of man-made traces, footprints, and architectural past.
