Avalo works with a system of symbols and icons that show its aesthetic-religious vision of the world. Besides, he has developed its own formal language, which has fed on several styles and movements of the history of art, particularly the abstract expressionism and the informalism.

Some artist find in painting a proper space to approach the deepest nature of their own beings. A vehicle that allows them to travel the inner road that brings them to the revelation and conciliation of numerous mysteries. Ricardo Avalo is one of them, and it is made evident on his most recent artistic proposal. From the beginning of its career his work has been attached to aspects of the human condition and its relationship to the universe. Later, he explores the physical relations of space on Of the Bluish Trip; Memories of the Black Box (2001), an exhibition whose concept an title turned out to be premonitory. On Informal (2002) he mixed elements that he so far had only worked individually, such as the box, the landscape and the monumental architectural structures, to denounce how nature and spirituality have been replace for the culture of cities. On its most recent paintings one can see how he favors the drawing experience, the spontaneity, the unfinished. On some works, the painter even let naked parts of the canvas surface. Now the protagonist is the space... it's becomes a sign of direction and mean of pure expression.
