Amadeo Morelos, Birth of Venus, 2021
What brings meaning to one’s life? Is it beauty, divinity, masculinity or a spotlight? My work is an attempt to understand my relationship to others; my own search for belonging in a hyperdomesticated world. I look for deeper values within the surface of culture, in an attempt for a better understanding of more intrinsic human qualities. I am concerned with the relationship between the lust for admiration and the pursuit of empathy. - Amadeo Morelos
Morelo's art, which expands within painting and sculpture, testifies to a strong realism that is revealed with the help of stringent colors, pronounced details and high contrasted shading.
