Big invasion #1 and #2. From The Botanical Interruption Series, 2024

Almo  

This striking artwork features two opposing silhouettes rendered in intricate blue patterns. Each profile is filled with a complex mosaic of abstract shapes and textures, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of depth and movement. The repetitive, rhythmic use of blue imbues the piece with a sense of calm and continuity, while the contrasting white background emphasizes the duality and interaction between the figures. The artist's meticulous attention to detail invites viewers to explore the interplay of shapes within the boundaries of the human form, evoking a sense of introspection and dialogue. These silhouettes, though static, suggest a dynamic exchange, symbolizing communication and reflection. The artwork excels in its ability to merge simplicity with complexity, offering a visually engaging experience that encourages contemplation on identity, connection, and the unseen patterns in human interaction.

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

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.
