David Catá is a Spanish artist with interests in photography, music, but more prominently, art. But to me, his work entitled A Flor de Piel is by far the most mind-boggling. He sews portraits of his friends, families, and loved ones on the palm of his hand. This self-inflicting art is a performatic and symbolic action of loss, love and memories. "Their lives have been interwoven with mine to build my history," explains Catá. "Every moment lived stays in the memory to finally be forgotten. Somehow, this fact is painful, since there are only material things and traces that people leave behind." His work has been shown in Mexico, New York, Peru, Cuba, Portugal, Spain, and Cambodia.
