The passionate search for the imago through a dissipated structural and formal renovation, of sense and meanings, whose fullness is achieved in imprecise definitions that dilate in informal gestures, spontaneous graphics, calm color, obsesses Rigoberto Mena since he discovered the mysterious keys of his visual poetics in the transition from the last century to this one. Since he recognized in abstraction his only language to understand us in this complex world of signs and symbols that we speak. My homeland is abstraction, he said to himself one distant day, paraphrasing Fernando Pesoa.
