Practice
Altamirano’s practice centers on the body as a space of memory, energy and connection. Through drawing, he explores gesture, movement and non-verbal communication as forms of human relation.
His work combines traditional drawing techniques with new supports and spatial formats, expanding into installation, mural work and live performance. The body appears fragmented, suspended or in tension, operating less as portrait than as a symbolic field.
