In the long artistic history of tattooing and the art of painting, many clients and close experiences have become part of Gustavo's works of art, many of them are portrayed clients or scenes of experiences and situations shared in his long tattoo sessions. tattoo.

True art is born from understanding, empathy transmitted in each case, situation or emotion produced by the fact of tattooing something very significant for a lifetime, making in many cases a great experience and inspiration for our tattoo artist.

You will be able to see part of all those experiences in his oil paintings exhibited in his studio.

The fact of tattooing transcends more than the skin, it becomes part of the inspiration that precedes it for the creation of new works.

Art is not really based on copying images from the internet (or giving its interpretation), for him, art is invisible, it is something that appears and disappears on certain occasions with people, friends, family, animals and landscapes, it is something that is within everyone, but some have the ability to interpret, in this case with painting.
