The document discusses Spanish painter Luis Moro and his style of work which draws inspiration from dreams and uses a variety of techniques and materials to create abstract yet figurative pieces. Moro's work has been exhibited widely in galleries and museums across Europe and the Americas and is included in numerous public and private collections. The excerpts provide insight into how various critics and artists view Moro's energetic and expressive paintings.

8. …”In this manner of contemplation, there is a shift to
new areas of small micro-worlds, transcendent messages wrapped
in colour and truth, wich generate dialogues, arouse feelings
and
give meaning to the incomprehensible natural order governing
his
worlds”…
Eliseo de
Pablos
Curator

13. ...”Efective both in abstraction and fragmentation, Luis Moro’s
work
draws us in through its great freedom of gesture, its capacity to
move
from a monochrome palette to using bright colours, and its use of
mixed techniques. In this way Moro translates the dream which is
reborn and incessantly transformed, feeding on thousands of
living and
defunct materials, which come together for an instant and then
disperse at the moment of awakening”….
Jean-Louis Augé
Director of the Goya Museum, France

18. “THE CULT OF THE BRUSH STROKE, MOVING BETWEEN THE FIGURATIVE AND THE
ABSTRACT, HOLDING UP A CONCRETE UNIVERSE, FULL OF PROMISE, BUT VERY
DIFFICULT FOR MAN TO TAME”
OLIVIER CLYNCKEMAILLIE
Director of the Mouscrom
Museum of Modern Art, Belgium

30. …”I was looking Moro’s work. There’s a lot of
energy and figurative elements in this way of
paintings that is very expresive. It looks like
you’re having a lot of fun painting that frog or
the crab, you know or this kind of shell there is a
particular way that the lines come out of concentric
lines that made a pretty interesting painting”…
JULIAN SCHNABEL
(Artist)

37. “ANIMALS ARE JUST A PRETEXT FOR TELLING OTHER STORIES.
EVEN IF THE UNIVERSE ALREADY SPEAKS THROUGHLY EVERY
LIVING BEING”
LUIS MORO

42. “The sea-horse turns into a constellation. Certain
points
configure a shape, like stars in the sky. Using the
light
which penetrates gaps and reduces all forms to
shapelessness, projected light and shade suggest the
unfathomable”
Ramón Mayrata
Art Critic
