There is no pamphlet-like rhetoric in his
work. What exists is respect, wonder, and
silence. Each brushstroke feels like an
offering to the forest, a gesture of humility
before something that cannot be measured
or controlled. By turning the jaguar into a
symbol, Paolillo acknowledges that symbols
are never exhausted — they only multiply in
meaning.
Between the Colonel and the Artist, the man
who dared to see with different eyes
prevailed. The one who left the trenches to
walk unarmed through the soul of the forest.
And who now invites us to do the same.
Because there are questions only art can
ask — and there are gazes, like Armando’s
jaguar, that never stop watching.
