As the Nobel laureate poet Octavio Paz has stated, "EKO's work is much more than tearing and biting; those monsters are not dreams - they are us." Noam Chomsky, the celebrated linguist and philosopher, has defined his art as "suitably ominous." Avelina Lesper, the noted art critic, has remarked, "In EKO, eroticism is form, a language." He studied under Vlady (Vladimir Victorovich Kibalchich [Rusakov], Russian/Mexican, 1920-2005), spending endless hours studying Durer and Rembrandt. EKO is a descendant of the sadistic Countess Batori, who sought eternal life in the blood of young virgins at her castle in Csejta in the 17th Century. [17905]
