When the painter Humberto Jaimes Sánchez is asked a profound question, of dense and serious content, he laughs, smiles, does not respond, and even covers his face with  hands of tireless painter. Through the openings that slip between the fingers that cover his face, his eyes are sparkling, inquisitive, dreamy and alert at the same time, and there is nothing less to think of a forest gnome that hides his magical and fine gift behind a branch.
