The use of “creatures” is especially pronounced in the triptych From Spider Galaxy (Guardians) (2008). Each of the panels depicts a human-like creature and a wolf. Barely noticeable, the wolf is a slightly darker shade of black than the creature, and the panels are almost the same except for faint variations between each creature. In each panel, the creature emerges from a spider web, each time with a different head and shadow-like shape behind it. Despite the creatures’ human-like body shape, emphasized with a lighter shade of black, the heads and shadow shapes hint that the creatures are not normal, as if they were from another world.
While studying in Europe, Amorales began to compile an archive of images from his daily life in Mexico, movies, and the streets of Amsterdam. Inspired by the popular Dutch aesthetic of the silhouette, Amorales archived the images as silhouettes, growing his archive to over four thousand images. Amorales now uses these images and combines them to make different figures and compositions for his works. Together, these images often create a dark, apocalyptic theme, and through the use of clichés, Amorales enables the viewer to enter this ominous world easily.
