Momo’s work is part of that stylistic current of Street Art that can be defined as abstract, a collection of lines and shapes created to blend with the architectural structure supporting it. Momo promotes the concept of art that doesn’t aim to represent reality. His approach is realistic, as he himself states: “work is work and it doesn’t mean anything”; and by doing so he leaves the interpretation of his artwork to who wants to see something in it, to who doesn’t stop trying to make sense of what they see. He has a necessity to compose “areas of colour” that add to the surface of the wall, creating, through a refined composite rhythm, a harmonious dialogue with architecture. Here at Outdoor Momo has been confronted with the largest space in the festival, a difficult surface where the number of windows and the unevenness of the wall have really tested the neatness of his strokes.
