Exhibition “ATRIO” in Association NOEMI - Espace Brownstone
Association Noemi is proud to present “ATRIO”, the first solo exhibition in Paris by Cuban artist Kmilo Morales. With this immersive project, Morales transforms black painting into a space to inhabit—blurring the boundaries between architecture, threshold, and perception.
In ATRIO, painting is not a representation but a constructive act: every stroke becomes architecture, every surface a silent gesture. Built through black, light, and void, his works evoke tension and stillness, turning pictorial structures into portals—spaces that invite contemplation and passage.
This exhibition reflects Kmilo Morales’s belief in art as a universal language, transcending spoken word. As a tribute to the legacy of painters like Soulages, his black is not concealment, but revelation.

Kmilo Morales
Kmilo Morales (Camilo Ernesto Morales Vargas, Holguín, Cuba, 1990) is a Cuban-born contemporary painter based in Madrid, celebrated for his minimalist, meditative canvases that favor monochrome fields—often in black, red, yellow, or green—to explore the materiality of paint and the passage of time. Formally trained at the Academia Profesional de Artes Plásticas de Las Tunas, he left Cuba in the late 2010s, relocating to Spain, where he debuted his first solo exhibition, Las cuatro estaciones, in Europe and later showcased his project Equinoccio at Galería La Cometa in Madrid in 2022 . Morales conceives painting as both process and space for reflection, bringing patience, discipline, and a contemplative dialogue with art history and philosophy into each work.
