– Armando Mariño
Vivid colours and a warm, glowing light trace faces, rivers, bodily auras and cascading streams of masks, a realm where ancestral powers reign. Armando Mariño’s paintings radiate a magical surrealist energy, imagining a world with natural forces others may have long lost touch with. Yet, underneath this apparent radiancy, does something more imminent linger?
