BIO
Hugo Travanca was born in Coimbra in 1981, grew up in Olival (Portugal) where he stayed until finishing high school. He graduated from the Évora University in 2005 with a degree in Fine Arts. In 2006 he graduated from IADE with a Diploma in Communication and Image, in 2012 one Master in Artistic Creation. Since then he has been developing his painting style and presenting his works in solo and group art exhibitions. His Work had been focus on paint with participation on some exhibitions and Illustration working on several projects.
From the very early age Hugo tend to create using different kinds of materials, and throughout academic career he was specialized and increasingly inside the Art world more and more. Works are almost like an addiction that absorbs all his energy, twenty-four hours per day. He never sees himself in another area. He merges the personal fulfillment, with the professional achievement and there isn’t difference. He feels very comfortable during the intensive creative process. His work and concepts have been more objective and consistent only because he follows the natural course and keep connected with the life that surrounds he and also follow the intuitive decisions. Working with reusable materials, almost always using in paintings and illustration the cardboard like a support, because it has a unique plasticity and their relationship with oil pastels and acrylics create something different and understandable. |
