A new Jesus
Stambolsky´s Thoughts work from The Secret Garden featured at a mass service at Remonstraten Rotterdam
The Sea Video Art
Currently working on composing a Video Art and Contemporary Dance piece to portrait the different states of this beautiful and powerful vast fluid called The Sea. As if he was another human, back and forth moves incautious, carefree, unpredictable. Proud, no matter how wrecked you feel after his arrogant tides
I love the idea of giving natural elements like oceans, trees, air, earth, etc, a somehow human traits to build metaphores as ancient civilitations would do when composing their Mythology beings. Looking forward to seeing the outcome!

A great review from online mag Liceo:
"The artist has turned male body into a garden where he can find shelter far from the madding crowd. In his minimal world, something between zen and arabic reminiscent, beauty becomes an absolute state of pureness"
08 to 30 July; Verso Branco, Lisboa
Lisbon is a city high enough to touch the sky surrounded by the sound of Fado. All those emotions coming together make this city a perfect environment to present The Secret Garden in Portugal. Doing some research to find the ideal location a friend recommended me to check Verso Branco, and its warehouse style shop and gellery ooze with the right creativity to act as a frame for this exhibition. Rua da Boavista 132-134

Delighted to see my collage work being featured in La Virtual Room. This time around, nuber 5 was edited into a set of playing cards, where my iconic Vitruvian Trans walks on water as the 10 of Cups in the Spanish cards stack
For the 6th edition of the fanzine, The Rubble Nations portrays a kid standing on outlined continents made into rubble and showing a very happy dollar face. Nations at war capitalising on homeless citizens, taking not just their native environmet, also their future, their life. Thanks polititians for leading suche a fucked up time
