Roberto Chichorro’s painting is encapsulated within an essential, spatial time which rhythmically follows the beat of an oneiric and musical “eros”. It is marked by rich colours that emanate from the myths and rituals that reside deep in his African roots and references and in the possible innocence of a chosen time between memories and poetry.
