The World of Tremos

The World of Tremos

Avant Gallery is pleased to announce its representation of Tremos.

Born in Peru, Tremos is renowned for his contributions to neo-syncretism, seamlessly blending European and Latin American material dynamics. His oeuvre encompasses figurative paintings that merge Baroque and Andean elements, as well as non-figurative pieces reflecting pre-Hispanic materiality

Graduated from the prestigious Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Marseille, France with high honors, Tremos was also recognized in 2023 as the Latin artist of the year by the Latino Graff association in France. Influenced by both Catholicism and the Andean heritage of his parents, his work delves into neo-colonial processes and contemporary syncretism, weaving Andean and European influences into a dialogue that examines identity, memory, and post-colonial discourse. Drawing inspiration from mythology, ecology, and the surreal, his paintings invite viewers into a dreamlike realm where fluid forms and vibrant palettes evoke both personal and universal narratives. Themes of transformation, vulnerability, and interconnectedness emerge powerfully in his compositions, where human figures, animals, and abstract shapes intertwine seamlessly, dissolving the boundaries between self and environment.

Through a masterful blend of fluid abstraction and symbolic figuration,Tremos’ layered, swirling brushstrokes creates a dynamic rhythm, giving life to the organic shapes and pulsating colors that dominate his canvases. His ability to balance vibrancy and subtlety results in immersive visual experiences that are both emotionally charged and meditative. Tremos' artistic journey is also informed by a deep understanding of art history and contemporary movements. His work finds resonance with the surrealists, such as Max Ernst, for its exploration of the subconscious, as well as the fluid energy of Francis Bacon’s emotionally charged figuration. The symbolic interplay between humans and animals in his art recalls the works of Marc Chagall, while his vibrant palettes and natural forms echo elements of Gustav Klimt’s and Egon Schiele’s aesthetics.

Tremos draws inspiration from both the natural world and the intricate web of human emotions. His works often highlight themes of coexistence and transformation, symbolized by recurring motifs of serpents, flowers, and mythical animals. Each piece acts as a portal into a fantastical yet deeply familiar universe, where viewers are invited to explore their own connections to nature, identity, and the intangible forces that shape existence. In Tremos’ art, beauty lies not only in the forms themselves but in their constant state of flux, inviting contemplation of life’s fluidity and the eternal dance between creation and decay. With his distinctive style and profound thematic depth,Tremos establishes himself as a vital voice in contemporary art, offering works that are as thought-provoking as they are visually arresting.
