Description
Within each of us lie truths and knowledge that can manifest in multiple ways, as we delve into the architectures of an inner world. The works are an invitation to the revelation of something hidden, according to the vision of the beholder. Thus, suggestive geometric shapes appear that our mind, from deep within, will know how to see.

“I am interested in art’s capacity for introspection, it is where I can imagine and design interior architecture. During the process of the work I trust intuition, this leads me to choose acrylic paint which, due to its quick drying, allows me to create spontaneous ideas that occur. The colors refer to what I want to communicate, in this way, combined with perspective, they suggest different elements, spaces and atmospheres”, Alejandro Gigli.
