This artwork features two distinct profiles, each framed within a rectangular border on a brown background. The profiles are vibrantly constructed from a mosaic of swirling colors—yellows, blues, reds, and greens—creating a dynamic, abstract pattern. The left profile is more intricate, with tightly packed shapes suggesting complexity and introspection. In contrast, the right profile uses larger, more flowing forms, evoking a sense of movement and fluidity. The juxtaposition of these two profiles highlights the diversity of human identity and thought, with the use of vivid colors symbolizing a spectrum of emotions and ideas. The artwork’s symmetrical composition and the contrasting styles invite viewers to explore themes of duality and perception, making it a visually engaging and thought-provoking piece.

---------------------

Almo wonders about his identity, the countries he has lived in, his daily routine and how he creates himself. An outsider who has made the world his home, skin, and citizenship, and through his artwork, he safeguards it in an attempt to explore the mysteries that pass through. Whether they are symbols, dreams or marks of the life of each of us. The artist´s work often features heads, floating bodies, trees, dollar signs, cars, laurel branches, and symbolic elements that denounce the cruelties of our borders.  Almo executes his drawings intuitively in these acrylic paintings, aiming for a state of ´semi-trance´ as he himself defines his process.

Almo, Jorge Alberto Morillo Doria, was born in Honduras, spent his childhood in the Phillippines, moved to Italy for his Univesity studies, and now resides in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
