Episode Synopsis
@gustavorizerio www.GustavoRizerio.com
Gustavo Rizerio is a notable tattoo and 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 with the passing of time.
His work encompasses the decorative aspects of art nouveau, symbolism, and the clean modernist lines of contemporary art. 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.
