Artist Statement:
Pjota’s work focuses on an in-depth study of popular iconography. His interest is mainly in the mechanisms and processes that produce, edit and diffuse human manifestations in an era of the internet and electronic communication. His works carry a selection of images, colors, symbols and supports that dialogue with emerging sociocultural principles peculiar to peripheral regions. Through small objects, architectural and symbolic, customary to these localities, he investigates the close relationship between culture and survival and how these permeate aesthetics and life.
