sacred creations
Children are an open channel for receiving divine messages that manifest as art, ideas, and wisdom
Milo the artist
A sensitive young man with a big heart. His creativity and wisdom demonstrate his close relationship with the spirit and God. Art is his way of processing emotions he cannot verbalize or act upon. A sensitive soul who loves deeply and has difficulty expressing his true feelings when forced, but in a language of action, is how they manifest. He enjoys silence and his alone time to guard his inner world, but offers a magnificent sense of humor and an infectious laugh. He loves aliens and his bunny pet Mocha. A wish for a cat he would like to name “Stormy Cloud” has been submitted to the universe, and fishing at the pond has become a new favorite hobby. To entertain his logical mind, he plays games on his iPad, either alone or with a friend, and disassembles electronics for fun. Being heard makes him feel valued and acknowledged for the complexity of his young, artful existence. To be an architect is his soul’s chosen vocation, with a side interest in gemology.
“FREE”
It is the sunset, can I be let free, get outside and on my knees, take a breath, and say in the midnight coming down to me, letting my soul be free. At least praying to God that I’m finally free. No one can stop me, I am free. The rain is coming down, and now I’m free from my frown. I can’t be let down now. I can see the light from heaven coming out to me. Don’t let me down, I am free now. Don’t let me there, I can’t see. I believe me. Please. I can’t be him again.

A NEW ARTISTIC LANGUAGE OF PRESENCE
Matericismo is an artistic-philosophical movement in which the wounded soul of the artist entrusts itself to matter and, in faith, finds healing. It reminds humanity that there will be peace in the world only when each person transforms their own suffering into light. A journey born in the silence of a wound carved into the earth. Suffering was the point of departure, a passion asking for a gesture, a passage through which to become peace. In the solitude of a case, I discovered that when pain finds no words, it seeks matter. And matter, when you truly listen to it, it gives back light. This is how Matericismo was born: from the dialogue between my wound and matter, from silence becoming form, from faith transforming the weight into healing. Since then, I have lived between matter and silence, writing, praying, meditating, allowing every gesture to find its own truth. The works are born this way, not simply to be created, but to continue the transformation. And of this journey, I have written books, so that the voice born in silence cannot be misunderstood and may reach those who carry within themselves the same wound.
