Francisco TOTEM Perez. TOTEM

Francisco TOTEM Perez is a Chilean artist based in Berlin for about 17 years. The originally trained theatre actor and stage director brings his emotions, thoughts and the madness of this pulsating city in his artworks. The result is a mixture of abstract human-animal symbiosis which is already internationally known. The situations and the setting of those characters are expressions of his individual view of our society and its current events and happenings. One of the main characteristics of his artworks, installations, sculptures or furniture is using recycling materials. These include remains of material from trade shows like advertising banners or various construction materials and treasures that can be found in the streets of Berlin. All canvases are hand drawn and hand made.
