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.
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.
