‘Virtual Tribe’ is a mixed media abstract on black paper, where fluid acrylic brushstrokes move across the background, while layers of circular shapes overlap with oil and soft pastels marks. Reflecting our metamodern society, this piece tries to capture the oscillation between sincerity and irony, hope and despair. As viewers engage with the artwork, they are invited to contemplate the fluidity and ambiguity of contemporary culture, where grand narratives of virtual communities and open participatory processes create a suggested map of meaning, one that can always evolve and be scrutinised by others.

As a multidisciplinary artist and documentary filmmaker, I’ve always been attracted to the inner landscapes of human beings, exploring themes of cultural hybridity, psychology, and spirituality. Having lived among complex and conflictual worlds, my work reflects diverse cultural influences and a personal exploration of identity, belonging and freedom. My paintings are characterised by bold and vibrant colour choices, employing multiple media and materials, like the diverse fabrics of societies I inhabit. As a result of this identity tapestry, I became interested in the transcendental, and how we can arrive from the material to the immaterial, where perhaps we can find more things in common than the conflictual realities we live in.
