Henrique Afonso

Heco, Henrique Afonso, 29 years old.

I am an independent and self-taught artist and I use colored pencils to create hyper-realistic paintings.

My work in the visual arts is relatively new, maybe even timid, and the exploration of bodies a little more. With this essay of paintings that imitate polaroids, I propose to dialogue about homoaffective relationships while dealing with my own sexuality and social validation. They are yearnings or daydreams about wishes and curiosities that I had or experienced at some point, sometimes looking for debauchery and others looking for lap and comfort.
