Tito Del Moral (1993, Bogotá)
Tito Del Moral is a visual artist whose practice emerges from the bipolar experience and a constant exploration of queer identity, mental health, and emotional memory. His work arises from the need to understand how emotions traverse the body and how the body, in turn, holds the story of each experience.
In his paintings, brushstrokes and expressive marks become fragments of body, pieces of flowers, and scenes that oscillate between the abstract and the figurative. Tito works within the tension between control and excess, allowing painting to reveal what words cannot. His work inhabits that fragile space where the intimate becomes image, where childhood reappears not as nostalgia but as a territory of reconstruction and memory.
Influenced by Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism, and Pop Art — as well as by the irreverent energy of the Young British Artists — Tito builds a visceral and honest pictorial language in which gesture is as vital as image. Each brushstroke is a confession, an attempt to capture the intensity of the human experience and the body as a landscape of emotions, memories, and events.
Educated in Visual Arts at Universidad de los Andes, in Art and Design in Oxford, and in Fine Arts at Leeds Art University, Tito has exhibited in Colombia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In 2024, he presented Pandora, his first solo exhibition, at the Museo de la Sociedad de Cirugía de Bogotá. He currently lives and works in Bogotá with his husband Mario, and their dogs, Rocco and Pandora.
