Is a Visual Artist and Web/Graphic Designer that lives and works in Lisbon.filip.matos@gmail.comAlongside his professional design practice, Filipe has established a digital footprint as a creator across major social platforms. His online presence is defined by a distinct visual aesthetic that meticulously blends elements of contemporary art, literature, philosophy, and cinema. Central to his artistic inquiry is an ongoing study of the relationship between text and imagery. Filipe utilizes juxtaposition as a core methodology, layering classical artworks, historical photographs, and iconic literary covers with modern captions, contemporary vocabulary, or song lyrics. Through this deliberate intervention, he subverts the original emotional and historical weight of the source material. His work playfully critiques modern communication, demonstrating how classical iconography can be mutated, recontextualized, and absorbed into the landscape of contemporary digital meme culture.
