Oscar Murillo — Just Dreams
Oscar Murillo

Just Dreams

2013

A large-scale canvas by Oscar Murillo, "Just Dreams" layers oilstick, oil, concrete dye, and spray paint to create a raw, tactile surface that pulses with industrial energy. The work reflects Murillo's signature approach, blending gestural mark-making with materials that evoke labor, migration, and collective memory. Residue and pigment accumulate across the canvas, transforming it into a charged record of process and lived experience.
