Magical Realism
Where Dreams Shape Form
This body of work unfolds in the space between reality and reverie — a realm shaped by memory, symbolism, and an inner mythology. Rooted in the traditions of Latin American magical realism and enriched by folkloric echoes, these pieces inhabit an alternate present where the ordinary dissolves into the extraordinary.
Aurelio Milera creates fantastical beings, rituals, and intimate scenes that feel both familiar and otherworldly. His figures emerge fully imagined, without models or visual references, guided instead by instinct, intuition, and emotional resonance. These works reveal the unseen layers that coexist with our everyday world — the magic that lives just beneath the surface.
In this realm, the mundane transforms into myth; identity and spirit intertwine; and a quiet sense of wonder reshapes what is possible.
Here, dreams become form, and the impossible becomes inevitable.
A quiet ascent where sorrow softens, and new light begins to rise.
A lively spirit carried by color, humor, and the pulse of ancestral rhythm.
A wandering figure moving between realms shaped by memory and change.
A fractured presence suspended between dominance and quiet unrest.
A drifting spectacle revealing the quiet fractures behind performance.
Magical realism is where memory, culture, and imagination converge — revealing the truths that live beneath ordinary life.
