“Uroboros Xao Quá nºV – (Liar Uroboros nºV)” Drawing

I am a multidisciplinary artist who works in contemporary art genres of drawing while crossing into new digital art techniques. Dealing with different concepts and overlapping reality and imagination, I create images and sounds that primarily explore the human condition and its relation with modern society, nature and technology. I feel comfortable working with a wide range of modus operandi, from Indian ink, charcoal and graphite to animation, video and mixed media. I use this mixture of elements in a variety of formats and sizes - from paper, latex or even fruits to large murals and outdoor walls. I believe that this plurality within my art work practice keeps more options open for self expression with the best outcomes. As a human being, I question what I see. As an artist, I question how I see. My work conveys the idea of subjectivity, and our ever-changing relationship with our perceptions of the world and our place in it. I look for metaphors and ambiguities in the world around me to visually communicate this relationship between the "whats" and the "hows" of subjective perception. My intention is to create an art work that delivers a certain feeling of uneasiness, forcing the viewers to move into a space of speculation and reflect on their own reality and its interaction with diverse aspects of today's society. My work is largely based on visceral expressions, which content and formal qualities are influenced by manifestations of nature, poetry, cinema, photography, philosophy, current affairs and, of course, my own personal experiences. In the same way that dreams do not match reality but yet contain some internal logic, I combine different elements in an intuitive way, while seeking colour and form connections. I generally draw with no pre-determined composition in mind, as images eventually pop up in a very impulsive, free-form way. Although a message is often the result, it is uncovered through a process rather than an intent.
