angelos
Angelos is a book conceived as an art object, tracing a journey from the Big Bang to the inner gaze—the angel that dwells within every human being.
It is an exploration of the numinous world, resonating with echoes of cultures and wisdom from diverse geographies and eras of humanity.
This poetic essay unfolds through 52 aphorisms paired with beautiful photographs, crafted to be read with both reason and heart.
“Yes, angels are there—always around us, inside us, even if we do not realize it. Blessed are those who find their guardian angel. You are blessed among the blessed.” — François Cheng, Writer, Poet, Essayist, Member of the French Academy
“Mauricio’s book explores mystery—the soul’s profound longing. The deep desire for light, beauty, love, freedom, happiness, magic… And remarkably, the book itself is magical.” — Gonzalo Pérez, Psychologist and Astrologer
“I seek the trace of this jewel, this treasure called Angelos, this experience called Angelos, this subtle and delicate caress called Angelos—a journey that can be lived from the beginning, Aristotelian and classical, or starting from the end.” — Malucha Pinto, Actress, Writer, Playwright, Theater Director
Angelos is a complete work that caresses the senses and soars above a reality seen through the clear eyes of beings so supernatural they can even understand humans.” — José Manuel Velasco, Communications Coach and Consultant, President of the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication

Listen to Marcelo Lewkow's conversation with Mauricio Tolosa on Radio Universidad de Chile.

A book isn’t finished the moment the writer places the final period or the press rolls out the last copy… that’s only the beginning of an unpredictable journey.
I am deeply grateful for the gifts the angels have brought: conversations held in full presence, heartfelt friendships and testimonies, expressions of gratitude and kind greetings, creative exchanges, and an abundance of everyday magic. MT
