Amadeo - Serigraph Print - Limited Edition of 60

Self-taught, i use buttons as “paint”, using its shapes, colors and texture. These tiny (and underdogs) objects captured my attention from an early age, abundant in grandmother small village house. Each isolated button appears to have only one functional purpose.Together by hundreds, they grow larger, become threedimensional, subvert their initial function, confusing the senses and forcing us to create more mechanisms of perception. I reuse wood and buttons, less noble and unusual materials, mostly discarded by the industry as a by-product, labeled as “non-compliant”, “defective” and “discontinued”, thus contributing, on a tiny scale, to the urgent need of activating a more circular economy. Hope you like my works, i enjoyed a lot making them!
