paintings, daqui, site de Julião Sarmento.

"Julião Sarmento combines fragments of photographs and texts with his graphic images executed in graphite. Human silhouettes, architectural images and words are subjected to the same process of obliteration, effected by means of a cinematographic approach to framing the subjects, an unfinished gesture or a thick layer of acrylic paint that swallows them up. The artist tells us that the subject is “that which is not there.” An open window on possible narratives and relationships, his painting invites the viewer to give free reign to her or his imagination and the voyeuristic pleasures of the partial glimpse." texto daqui.
