ZAQ GUIMARAES
On my subject
After a training in the field of the cinema, I always practice painting more and become attached currently to representations of the microorganisms which live in each of us.
My inspiration finds its origin in numerous medical examinations to which I had to myself subject me many years. My job leans on the intriguing pictures which these examinations often produce from viruses or bacteria which live in our bodies. The cellular constellations which I offer constitute so a pictorial réinterprétation of the cells which compose us.
