Gustavo rizerio

Gustavo Rizerio is a contemporary artist living and working in New York City. Originally from Brazil, Gustavo has spent his entire life honing his skills and innate abilities as an artist.

Drawn to the power and permanence of an image, Gustavo explores multiple mediums in his work such as oil and acrylic painting through everyday objects and other materials, touching on the slow transformative process that art takes through the passing of time.

His work encompasses the decorative aspects of art nouveau, symbolism, and the clean modernist lines of the contemporary. Exploring the pure subjectivity and expression of an idea over the realistic description of the natural world, Gustavo brings meaning and value to his work through colors, lines, and composition.

This body of work explores the transformative journey from abstract to non-representational in both sculpture and painting. Drawing inspiration from the profound impact of archetypes on individuals, Gustavo delves into their influence on emotions, ethics, and mental perspectives.

The interplay between conscious impressions and unconscious meaning is a central theme in his artwork. The artist seeks to capture the subtle subliminal meanings that permeate our perceptions, as each of us bring a unique context to the reception of abstract or general notions, the meaning we derive becomes deeply individual. Differences in social, political, religious, or psychological experiences further magnify these variations, resulting in a rich tapestry of interpretations.
