ARMANDO ALEMDAR
NEOMODERN PAINTINGS : INNER PORTRAITS OF LIFE
Armando Ara starts every picture with sketches of the human body.
He then distils all of the sketches into one realistic drawing,
which serves as the basis for his abstract composition. In the finished
picture we witness a perpetual state of metamorphosis. Some art
critics have suggested that because Armando needs the body as an
infrastructure for his compositions, he is a figurative painter.
In actual fact, Armando is a figurative painter of the spiritual
dimension as embodied in the timeless form of the nude. Drawing
on his Sufi (mystical Islam) background, Armando has embodied in
his art the ancient mystical beliefs in inner spirituality. Armando
is part of the Neomodern art movement, which promotes spiritual
and aesthetic values in art. In the past four years there has been
media and TV coverage on Armando’s work both as one of the
creators of Neomodernism and as a painter. Armando is currently
researching a PhD at Sussex University with thesis entitled
Dialectical Aesthetics.
