Armando Torellini

Armando Torellini is a Venezuelan-born artist based in Los Angeles whose work spans painting, monoprint, poetry, graphic design, and image installation. Trained in graphic design, he approaches composition as a discipline—testing balance, rhythm, and proportion across paint, print, and language. His practice examines exile, belonging, and bilingual thought, exploring how displacement and erasure live in both body and language. Recent projects include *Topografía Fundamental del Exilio*, a modular painting series that maps exile as shifting emotional and geographic terrain, and *band/aid • high/way*, a book-object that fractures and sutures language through pause, rupture, and breath. Queerness enters his work as a quality of presence—tender, attentive, and unrushed. Torellini’s work has been shown at Universidad Simón Bolívar, Salón ≠ Salón, Casa de la Cultura Calabozo, and Miradas de luna nueva. He will present a new project with KIOSKO at NADA Miami 2025.
