The spiritual side of geometry.
On the occasion of his 1978 exhibition in Bogotá, Manolo Vellojín wrote the introduction to the catalog to explain that his intent with his geometric paintings was to “transfigure emotions.” And since a good portion of his production identifies itself with titles that have obvious spiritual connotations linked to the realm of the religious—although without any liturgical intentions—the notions of transfiguration and emotions that he mentioned acquire a special transcendence when it comes to analyzing his legacy.
