João Fortuna's art appears as a mirror of contemporary times, where visual narratives echo our own existence. Technology, social asymmetries and collective loneliness emerge as dominant themes within an imaginary constructed through meticulous layers, transporting us to maximalist scenarios that challenge us visually.
The city, as the human being’s preferred habitat, stands as a central element in his aesthetic constructions, where narratives unfold through a mix of references — from brutalism to metabolic architecture, from classic to modern, from present to future. Graduated in Art History from the University of Coimbra, João Fortuna found in collage his primary form of expression, developing a distinctive language that invites us to engage with the complexity of modern life.
