Belmonte

Belmonte is preparing for an upcoming exhibition of his work at Montevideo’s National Museum. His paintings are sensual, fantastical, and sometimes colorful, yet all have a melancholic undertone.

With the actions intrinsic to late adolescence and the sincerity of one friend addressing another, Tamayo revisits a long list of weaknesses and miseries: his family heritage.
