ERNESTO MORALES
In a style akin to South American magic realism, Morales’ work uses different aspects of the landscape to explore the concepts of unconscious, memory, and migration − physical and mental − where things acquire the light and texture of imagination. His work is characterized by a constant attention to the most recent developments of the language of painting.
