Matheus Guansé/ Shadows & Monsters

Matheus Guansé is a Brazilian artist based in Portugal, a Photography graduate, and an explorer of the unconscious. The artistic practice emerges from a dialogue between the unconscious, the symbolic, and the mystical, translating intuitive imagery into unique and unrepeatable works. Artistic studies began at the Museum of the Unconscious in Rio de Janeiro, founded by Nise da Silveira, a pioneer of Art Therapy in Brazil. Currently focused on personal and intimate expression, the artist primarily works with ostrich eggs as an artistic medium, exploring fragility, organicity, and symbolic dimensions. The debut collection, All Eyes Say Something, comprises six works.
