Avila Alanes Efrain Zenon (Efra Avila)

The main goal of my art is to make people start thinking critically. My innovative art teaches people to think and seek solutions to difficult and seemingly impossible tasks. With my works, I want to change the system of domination that creates servants and obedient individuals. My puzzle sculptures help young people practice concentration, and they help older people keep their memory active.
