Radial Progression #2 and #1. From The Geometric Head Series, 2024

Almo  

This artwork consists of two distinct yet complementary profiles set against a plain background. Each silhouette is meticulously composed of vibrant, abstract geometric shapes, creating a mosaic-like effect. The bold use of color and shape reflects diversity and complexity, offering a dynamic contrast to the otherwise simple backdrop. The left profile leans toward cooler colors with fluid lines, while the right emphasizes warmer tones in sharper forms. These visual elements suggest a dialogue or duality, invoking themes of identity and perception. The golden frames enclosing each profile add a touch of elegance, drawing attention to the intricate details within. This piece captivates viewers with its masterful blend of abstraction and form, inviting introspection and interpretation.

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

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.
