Aythamy Armas Spain, b. 1982
Aythamy Armas (b.1977, Canary Islands, Spain) is known for his conceptual approach to painting. He creates works that emerge from an intimate dialogue between sound and material. His practice is guided by the auditory resonance of his medium—whether the rhythmic friction of charcoal on raw canvas, the whispering hiss of an aerosol can, or the reverberating tension of sculptural elements in space. Sound becomes both a source of inspiration and a compositional tool, influencing the textures, gestures, and forms that define his work. Using a variety of materials Armas creates evocative visual narratives that challenge conventional perceptions of space and meaning.
His work is deeply influenced by his Canary Islands heritage, infusing a unique cultural perspective into contemporary art discourse.
