Biography

TREMOS, born in Peru and raised in Lima, is a contemporary artist whose practice emerges from the intersection of European artistic training and Andean cultural heritage. This dual formation has shaped a body of work that continuously navigates between distinct visual, spiritual and material traditions.

Educated in fine arts in France, his work engages with painting, textile and installation as expanded fields of research. Influenced by Catholic iconography, pre-Hispanic ritual objects and modernist approaches to material freedom, TREMOS develops a language that resists categorization and stylistic fixation.

His career includes major institutional projects, large-scale interventions and collaborations that position his practice within an international contemporary art context.

Statement

The work of TREMOS is grounded in an exploration of thresholds: between life and death, matter and spirit, Europe and Latin America, permanence and transformation. Through slow, layered processes, his practice examines the temporal intelligence of materials and their capacity to store memory.

Rooted in both Baroque pictorial heritage and pre-Hispanic textile and ceramic traditions, his work articulates a form of spiritual syncretism where the sacred circulates across materials, gestures and surfaces. Painting is no longer conceived as an image alone, but as an embodied act, a ritual of reciprocity in which time becomes an offering and the viewer an active participant.

Each work functions as a living archive, where gesture, material and history converge into a singular presence.
