About

TheAlbero believes in the transformative power of the Art and aspires to create inspirational art with the direct contact and participation of the community:

“Under its canopy, stories are told that mix reality and imagination, memories and dreams, fears and desires, from time to time they mix in order to find the right way. Through its roots we explore the sometimes dark interior world of the soul. Through the branches, we invite the community, to face the reality of the threatening weather, as we await the change.” - TheAlbero
