Oscar Murillo — Let me be
Oscar Murillo

Let me be

"Let Me Be" by Oscar Murillo is a richly layered work that combines canvas, dye, oil, aluminium foil, and wood to create a tactile and visually complex composition. Murillo's characteristic approach merges raw, industrial materials with gestural mark-making, reflecting themes of labor, identity, and global exchange. The interplay of reflective foil against stained and painted surfaces evokes a tension between the ephemeral and the enduring.
