Bruno Castro Santos, with a background in architecture, has focused on abstract geometric art since 2009. His work explores geometric shapes and the formal challenges of representing them on a symbiotic relationship between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. His work addresses scale, structure, colour, and rhythm, influenced by gestalt theory, while embracing intuition, accident and chance.
His compositions balance clarity and chaos, hard and soft edges, unity and fragmentation. These non-narrative works challenge the dominance of rationality, questioning the predictability in artistic representation. The geometric elements coexist with loose organic arrangements, fragments, and displacements, creating distinctive compositions . Drawing from architecture and historical references of Minimalism and Post-minimalism, Castro Santos emphasises simplicity, spatial relationships, and the economy of form, reflecting his ongoing exploration of perceptual dynamics.
