Ruth Munguía, widow of Phil Kelly (b. Ireland 1950 - d. Mexico 2010) the Irish expressionist painter who became a Mexican citizen in 1999, explains that the greatest nightmare of the artist was to paint the same picture every day, so he challenged himself every morning to intervening walls, use cardboard boxes, paint oils or draw nudes on pieces of cotton paper. The present book includes a text by poet Seamus Heaney, Nobel Prize (1995), the reproduction of 250 works, including 20 unedited pieces that a friend of the artist discovered in 2011 in a suitcase at his home in England.
