Fernando Chamarelli:Painting/Illustration
Today’s image is by Brazilian graphic designer, illustrator and visual artist Fernando Chamarelli. Chamarelli graduated from UNESP (São Paulo State University) and currently lives and works in Bauru, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Chamarelli began drawing cartoons, caricatures and realistic portraits and then became involved in street art and tattooing. “It is by merging these different mediums that he creates his art. Chamarelli lives in a multicultural country of contrasts, therefore this environment reflects in his work. Including mosaic, geometric elements,organic forms and harmonic lines connecting symbols, legends, philosophies, religions and customs of ancient and modern civilizations. Within this diversity are the strong influence of Brazilian popular culture and pre-Columbian indigenous art. His art follows the rhythm of globalization, bridging borders and cultures closer. The Characters with serious expressions live in different realities and in situations that appear surreal. Music has a very important role during the creation, helping to give flow.” (bio from Chamarelli’s My Space page)
