Elio Haddad

“We are, if anything, intense subsequent waves of emotions carrying thin layers of feelings with them. Paradoxically - Commanding and obeying simultaneously our mental states that define us and our attitude in the world.” Elio Haddad

Brazilian/Lebanese artist with great artistic expression in several mediums. With emphasis on contemporary sculpture, photography and site-specific installations.

Our relationship with our self-image and all the distortions that can happen between reality and reflection.
Another key theme that the artist Elio Haddad works on is the profound relationship between man and his environment. He has been exploring this topic with a specific reaction of a fictional nature and a hint of what would be an imaginary poetic mutant nature.
