Javier Morales Casas is a young Colombian painter that uses a research-creation methodology in order to develop his work. Moving between austerity and hermeticism, his paintings draw from diverse art history references such as Egyptian figuration, the Flemish Primitives or Haitian Voodoo painting. Morales’ paintings are creations of internal universes that happen in small and hot towns, where the human and non-human touch. His manner of preceding is intertwined with intuition and uncertainty, and he is constantly amazed by the impermanence of living matter.
