ABOUT THE WORK

The works of acclaimed artist Augusto Albor are enveloped in a strange yet alluring mist. As an artist, Albor’s core philosophy is always guided by an adherence to calmness and contemplation. Thus, his works often interweave the mystery and strangeness that is adherent to our physical reality and to the cosmos. His works seek to capture this elusive and ethereal beauty by experimenting with the literal physicality of his subject matter. From textured canvases to obscured images, Albor believes that the subversion of the common concepts of beauty will ultimately lead us towards timeless and transcendental aesthetics. In this piece, Albor confronts the invisible and mythical concept of the Ether. By doing so, Albor unearths the inherent spirituality that mystifies our objective reality.
