TAPETYPO
I create large-scale artworks, murals and canvas pieces from duct tape.My art combines abstract typography with pixelated imagery, using familiar signs as material for distortion, rhythm and composition. I play with the habits through which we decipher letters, symbols and images, creating tension between recognition and uncertainty.The limitations of duct tape, its fixed shapes, reduced colours and direct physical handling become the engine of my artistic expression.I want people to see how something as ordinary as tape can transform familiar visual codes into playful, poetic and vibrant encounters.
