“The Forgotten?” by Eriberto Oriol
The beauty of this series is the spontaneity and characters that seem to reflect bewilderment from the incoherence events of our contemporary world of politics, economics and environmental crisis.
The dream is to be able, to tell the TRUTH, and forge a new pathway for the world that is about human kindness, caring, sharing and creating a world that never was before.

Through his paintings, artist Eriberto Oriol is helping us see what others at times may not see. He allows the creativity of his imagination to be seen in his work.
Historically that is what artists have done. For example, artists such as Francisco Goya’s etchings “Los Caprichos” and Pablo Picasso’s with “Guernica” documented some of the cruel and inhumane events of the war, greed, and power. Some felt that these bizarre paintings were a sign of madness, completely off the wall because they were different from everyone else’s.
I would argue that these artists were really in tune with the creative force of the universe.
