A letter and a poem that seal the friendship and the lyrical work of Raúl, his relationship with quantum physics and with philosophy: the dialectics of the heart set against the dialectics of thought.

Born in Mendoza in 1954. At the age of nine he began playing the guitar, drawing on Latin American folk music. In his adolescence, the death of a loved one gave wings to his poetic side. Years later he enrolled at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of Mendoza and, while still very young, went into exile because of his commitment to the popular movement of the time. Barcelona, Denia and Belgium welcomed him and watched him pass through. After coming and going between the two shores of the Atlantic, Raúl settled in Granada, where he published his stories in an anthology of storytellers and recorded with Emanuel Rojo the album “Vals a Granada: Canciones de las dos orillas”. In 1983 he published his first book of lyrical and mystical poetry, “Amor: puerta al infinito”, also translated into French. In 2015 he returned to the country and, years later (2017), he released “La Quimera Detenida”. He has also published poems in literary magazines in Belgium, France, Greece, Spain and New York. Many artists influenced his lyrical and spiritual path: Ana Selva Martí, Draghi Lucero and Octavio Paz, among others.

Raúl is a poet and musician, he is from Mendoza and is also a friend of Ricardo Tudela. They met in 1971, and the gaze of Don Tudela marked his heart with a path and a poetic and spiritual journey: questions and answers, a free and open dialogue, as the great philosopher and essayist often pointed out.
