La producción artística de Alberto Montaño surge desde una conciencia clara en la constante re-creación de las obras a través del espectador. El artista sabe que su trabajo viajará a través de la mirada de quien las contempla, pasando por su mente, afectada por su historia de vida a través de innumerables universos que moran en la vida de quienes lo reciben. Perfectamente ubicado en su momento histórico y social, Alberto Montaño se hace camino entre la apreciación de los espectadores para remover conciencias, cuestionar percepciones y creencias, buscando, tal vez, despertar ideas y descubrir horizontes más amplios.

Alberto Montano’s artistic production comes up from a clear conscience on the constant re-creation of artwork through the spectator. The artist knows that his work will travel through the glance of who contemplates it, going through their mind, affected by their life story through countless universes that dwell in the lifes of those who recieve it. Perfectly aware of his historical and social context, Alberto Montano makes his way into the spectators appreciation to move consciences, question perceptions and beliefs, probably seeking to awaken ideas and discovering broader horizons.
