About
__
Moreno-Granados is an audiovisual nomad trained primarily as a sculptor between Latin America and Europe. He works in sculpture, drawing, and installation with paper, resins, metal, wood, and sound, employing creative strategies derived primarily from manual labor, understood as a configurator of thought, and the observation of how and with what human beings construct meaning.
His works are an inescapable reflection of his time. Through his pieces, Moreno Granados addresses themes such as identity, memory, and the relationship between human beings and their environment, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own reality. His use of color and texture reveals a deep connection with the environment, and especially with nature, turning each work into a focal point for dialogue. He has participated in national and international exhibitions, generating interest and recognition for his uniqueness and technique.
His lines of research have centered around the landscape, the creative act as an approach to the immaterial, and the notions of uprooting, integration, mobility and belonging that manifest the instability and impermanence of the universe in the human species.
His creative method its based in a crossroads between the Zen approach to the reality that must be experienced and the and the silent meditative contemplation of the materials in which he shapes a personal vision of the chaos-cosmos he finds in the world from which those materials come.
The essence of his work revolves around space, understood as a continuity in a flow that manifests itself in diverse material and energetic densities that demonstrate the symbiotic relationships that constitute the living as a complex system produced by an immaterial intelligence.
“
Moreno's modulations unfold before us. They, secret and public, in their lightness, float willing to receive and reflect the unknown resonances of our own perception”

Because of the novelty and originality of his approach and visual and conceptual research, we recognize in Jesús Moreno a prominent exponent of the new generations of visual artists from Venezuela and we do not doubt that his work, no doubt singular, will constitute a significant contribution to our contemporary visual culture”

... the artist reveals that new expanded notion of space that the urban subject is constructing for himself in the contemporaneity, in constant connection with the external world through interactive communicational extensions."
