VICTOR SOUZA
Visual and tattoo artist based in São Paulo.
b. 1992, São Paulo, Brasil.
After graduating in Fashion Design, he began tattooing in 2018 and expanded his practice into painting in 2025.
The works came before this text, as did the questions, the practice, and the necessity that made them possible.
Victor questions the idea that an artwork can ever be fully translated into language. This position stems from the understanding that certain experiences exceed the symbolic systems we use to describe them.
His work begins with the production of lines, textures, stains, and marks created independently. These elements are later digitized, reorganized, and placed in tension until they establish relationships capable of sustaining a composition, which is then translated into different supports.
He currently works across tattooing, drawing, and painting, developing his practice between São Paulo and Berlin.
