Manuel Carmo tells stories in an apparently tangible form through his minimalist art of absolute dispossession:
in a purifying cleansing or in the purity of cleansing final before the infinite.
In the absolute simplicity of his whole paintings that speak only one colour, three points remain, each one,
occupying a different place, like a nuclear mark of the conception of life or as the new trinity.
Colour is the voice of the spirit, of magic, of mystery and of the imaginary.
