Andrógin@ dos Painting

The Andrógin@ trilogy is inspired by the artist’s friends who, during adolescence, embarked on a brave journey of gender identity exploration. Cool tones and tight framing are deliberately used to convey the anguish and claustrophobic feeling of this complex process. Through these languid figures, the artist reveals the internal struggle and deep yearning for authenticity that defines this personal transformation. The painting on display, "Andrógin@ dos", is the second in the trilogy and captures a pivotal moment in the central figure’s journey of transformation. Here, an emerging beauty is visible, though accompanied by profound insecurity. Life is depicted as a dark forest, symbolizing the challenges and mysteries the figure must still face and overcome. This piece evokes the duality of feeling both beautiful and vulnerable, reflecting the complexity of self-acceptance and the courage required to navigate through uncertainty.
