The titles of his works clearly reflect this approach\u2014not as a form of nostalgia, but as a way to understand the complexity and layered nature of reality. Casero examines the present while remaining aware of the roots from which it emerges.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Now based in Amsterdam, Casero also confronts the legacy of Franco\u2019s dictatorship. Born sixteen years after the dictator\u2019s death, he inherits the pain and stories of previous generations and gives them a voice.
