"In a kind of resistance to the blindness that the speed of the contemporary world imposes on us, the first answer can come through drawing, where Schuster observes, attentive, the world and makes it closer to himself. The insignificance of the things that inhabit the days when displaced to the art making, and through their presentations, take the place of the great themes, at the same time that they question the values that move us.
Broken household objects, announced disposal.
The nest, which served as a shelter for the chicks a few seasons ago, is now rolling down the street in the storm wind. The branches of the old tree in the garden appear once again covered by a micro-universe of delicate plants that is repeated with each new season.

"On the other hand, the sensitivity of looking beyond what is given to us, decoded, is revealed in his paintings where the reality of the contemporary world appears in a subtle but dramatic way, to address sensitive themes such as violence, racism, social injustice or feelings like urban loneliness and human relationships in volatile times.
These everyday facts, immersed in the melancholy that populates the slow passage of time in the domestic space or in the whirlwind of news and images that bombard us daily, could become invisible. However, in a fraction of a second, the artist's question about the meaning of these events establishes a way of (re)signifying them with the art making that enhances the ways of seeing and thinking about it, of (re)signifying the real, through art." *
