Amado uses paint, wood, felt, and light to expand the dimensional constraints of painting. Amado treats color as the material, a boundless pursuit that culminates in a visual language that embraces sensuality and beauty. The artist states, “My work endorses the quality of change and how limitless and liberating it can be for an artist. Utilizing forms, images, materials, fashions, and media of human industries; I’m able to produce commentaries on the ambiguities of modern and contemporary culture and the investments that are ultimately made by society.”
