1970-79

Aguilar picks things from the cosmic space. He seems to take a snap shot of the psychic aura, not only of the people he paints, but of other things as well, such as landscapes and even of his own abstractions. He builds the transcendent, photographs auras, which explains his ghostly fig- ures, the lights interwoven with human warmth, a genuinely warm spirituality – an emanation of the substance of things that give way to greater mysteries.
