My work explores the symbolic visual languages found in ancient animist and hermetic traditions, cultures that treat everything as sacred. Their role is not to master nature but to flow with it.
I bring their visual systems into contemporary life through geometric composition and archetypal symbolism. Each piece originates as a large-format original; many extend into audiovisual works pairing geometric animation with original songs rooted in pop-tribal rhythms.
In 2004, I spent 30 days in villages and tribes across the Brazilian Amazon documenting indigenous craftsmanship. That experience opened a question I couldn't answer for over a decade.
In 2015, I began studying within a structured oral lineage in the hermetic tradition. I came to understand what I had actually witnessed in the Amazon: art is a dialogue with nature.
Above all, my work seeks to offer a counter-perspective to a society that worships money, a culture that often produces chaotic, cynical art, and whose visual emptiness feeds back into the cycle of materialism, exploitation, and ecological collapse.
Some ancient animist cultures, unlikely as it may sound, bring a fresh perspective on life and on the role of art. Their visual systems were tools for keeping human life aligned with nature.
My goal is to re-establish art as a dialogue with nature, bringing animist wisdom and hermetic symbolism into contemporary spaces.
