The works of Manuel Carmo when analysed by the decomposition of their constitutive elements always narrate
a story that moves within the four corners of the canvas. Only the symbols of the story are visible. Without
annulling it, they hide it, but because of their nature as symbols they simultaneously confer it with a wider
meaning.
The large gestural outlines, the columns that both nurture and support, the lines that transmit the truth to their canvasses or the triptych punctuations that confer strength and beauty are far from configuring cathartic/ catársicos geometrics, on the contrary, they indicate the way to an architectural reading that we must leaf through as if it were a book.
