His proposal is consistent with the course of time when the question according Thierry Luve, cited by Eduardo Serrano Revista Semana, No. 847) is: not beautiful, but what happens to the art.% U201D Abiezer answers this question with three-dimensional works and happenings. Agudelo is recognized in the coffee for his painting and drawing figures that were ahead in time to the appearance of phenomena such as androgyny figures that eliminate the boundaries of genre in a universal and inclusive vision of human beings. Evidence of how the painting goes beyond the local scope in pioneering fashion convirtindose that, despite being temporary, they realize the power visionary artists. Its two-dimensional work in pastel, oil ylpiz uses a loose stroke and firm which evoke the distinctive features of expressionism, which appeal more to the effect on the viewer that the price of the technique.

Meetings and dialogues, and dreams and exaltation, seeking to show the beings who wander in the mind of the artist, the essence of the two genders and that, without lights stage magician from the deepest recesses of their convictions, by a work characterized by its individual stamp, imperious gesture, telling and automatic. A symbolic instinctive, stripped of unnecessary concrete meaning, it constitutes one of the plastic forms that increase or deepen the special planes of expression of the faces that emerge are delayed. Despite the prevalence of figuracin, this is not the communication medium of the artist& 39;s emotions to the audience. A subtle, yet clear language, selected and categorized by the teacher, is the set of special forms that prevail in the symbols, bodies and faces, expressed physically by a stroke of calligraphy distinct, continuous of difano, elementary, smooth and sincere, without hipocresas and without rhetoric, because the natural mode of secretion fisiolgica direct and simple. From a specific point of the imagination Artist consistent, which has thus been released from inseparable intermediaries, mental or material, the utilitarian purpose, commercial or frivolous. No matter, because despite the figuracin, the purpose and communication through plastic are the forms, so that with these, the artist spreads his emotions and experiences, projects deep in the plans and composition creates, generates movement and introduces the internal consistency of the work, as stripped of the spikes and linear descriptions of major events, typical of classic murals of people, as Accel event is the work itself that precisely describe not a story or battle dealings and lack of narrative, go to the logic and coherence of the ways plastic asmisma narrated as the moments of the tumultuous arrival of beings MGIC, from two or three constellations of irrepressible imagination, such as physical, but different in their spirituality, suffering from an aesthetic of free lines and grassy, ??fresh and boundless beings CONDESAN expressionist hierticos, from a few vague and primitive and symbolic areas that make up the mythology to Abiezer, which finds its future in the rule really true of his own imagination.
