Amoralesʼ "Buried Mythologies" is a series of paintings showcasing irregular patterns derived from encrypted alphabets, intentionally obscuring 'readable' prose poems that recount autobiographical events from the artist????s experiences. The works are characterized by the application of multiple layers of oil stick on stenciled canvas, resulting in a unique fusion of typographical text and painting technique. The deliberate interplay blurs the boundary between legibility and illegibility, presenting a compelling narrative of fragmented meaning.
