Resume

"THE INSPIRATION AND CONTENT OF ARMEL'S PAINTINGS TAKE US TO A WORLD WITHOUT FRONTIERS OF COLORS, WHERE NATURE' PURITY SEEMS TO ADD TO HIS EXPRESSIVE FREEDOM.

HIS LANDSCAPES REMIND US OF THE BEGINNING  OF PARADISE'S CREATION.
WHERE FANTASIES EMBRACED ARE CONTAGIOUS .......SEPARATING REALITY FROM A WORLD THAT IS INHOSPITABLE AND SUBJECTED BY MAN.

HOW CAN YOU APPRECIATE,  HIS WORKS ENJOY COLOR, LINE AND FORM THAT IS VERY PERSONAL, EVOLVED FROM ABSTRACT REALITY, EXCEEDING LIMITATIONS OF BOTH  TENDENCIES, INVENTING  NEW FIGURES WHICH ARE  STRICTLY HIS, RESULTING FROM HIS CREATIVE INSISTENCE MOTIVATED BY THE MANIFESTATION OF HIS SPIRIT."
