Almo
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 CARRANCA SERIES
About THE CARRANCA series: The artist was inspired by African masks and traditional Brasilian folk art sculptures called Carrancas which are wood sculptures attached to the prows of riverboats that are meant to ward off evil spirits. These works are unique in their creation because paint is applied behind the surface being used which in this case is plexiglass. It can be considered a reverse glass painting technique.

​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.
