Using homemade tools, adapted masonry techniques, and a lifelong study of color theory, MOMO makes non-representational murals that are finely tuned while remaining simple and universal. "My paintings have no theme or meaning, like music without lyrics. There’s a composition of things to be felt, the way rhythms, tones, and harmonies reach us beyond narrative or language." -MOMO. Despite living in New Orleans since 2001, this is MOMO's first public mural in the city.
