If, in the 80s, Manuel Carmo’s works offered symbolic landscapes touched by a dream-like imagination which
allowed him to be situated in what Cirlot calls “Informalism”, currently, the symbolic component is mainly
concentrated into formal propositions of a geometric nature: straight and curved lines, angular areas, masses
and blocks of great polymorphic simplicity, which interact freely in spaces dominated by light backgrounds as if
they were collages.
Some touches of colour participate in this symbolic game dominated by the dialogue of black-white and reflect
what has already been established amongst the different isolated elements that participate in the space of each work.
