Statement

Mauricio Garrido's work is recognized for his monumental and exuberant collages in which he develops a contemporary, complex and mysterious surrealist aesthetic. His work uses allegory as a narrative method, evoking new forms of representation and new meanings for art. His technique is completely manual, achieving a unique and unmistakable visual language. He collects original papers from books and magazines that he finds in different corners of the world.
