Ernesto Morales, in the exhibition “Di nuvole e di soglie” (“Of clouds and thresholds”) presents two of his most well-known series, previously displayed in international museums: “Clouds” and “Places”. These oil-on-canvas paintings deeply reflect his artistic and conceptual exploration of the last decade. Through “Clouds” Morales explores the fluidity and ephemerality of clouds, capturing their transformation and mutability as a metaphor for the human condition and the impermanence of life itself. In contrast, the series “Places” focuses on representations of locations, often intertwining memory and perception through the use of colours and compositions that evoke emotions and memories.

BIOGRAPHY
Ernesto Morales was born in 1974 in Montevideo, Uruguay, and began his artistic career in Buenos Aires, where he lived until 2006, before moving to Europe. After an initial period in Paris, he established his studio in Italy, initially in Rome and since 2011 in Turin.
Over the last twenty years, his artistic research has led him to create exhibitions in international museums and galleries in Europe, America and South-East Asia. Between 2009 and 2025 he institutionally represented Italy, Argentina and Uruguay with a series of important personal exhibitions. In 2019 his retrospective “Mindscapes” was inaugurated in New York at the Consulate General of the Argentine Republic. In 2023 he created the exhibition “Come sia luce” in dialogue with the work of Lucio Fontana at the La Crescentina Foundation, in Piedmont, Italy, and from November 2024 to February 2025 he will hold his exhibition “The beginning and the light” at the Rothko Museum in Latvia.
