“This short story is an autobiographical remembrance that unfolds from the moment I came into the world until the ninth day of my life. Nine days filled with an unstoppable stream of consciousness, where different dreams and visions emerge like bursts—building and intertwining to create a narrative closer to an irreverent, dizzying, and visceral form of automatic writing, sprinkled with longings and memories, rather than following the logic of an orthodox, structured narration.”

Lidó Rico reflects on his creative process and his literary work El sueño de un Remo written during lockdown.

Far from his studio and facing difficult personal moments, he found in writing a new way to channel his restlessness—something he defines as the true driving force of his existence. The result is an intimate and powerful book, where body, memory, and emotion intertwine with an intensity akin to his sculptural work.
