Luis Geraldes, artist and art
Born May 15 1957, Birth Vale da Cerdeira, Beira Baixa, Portugal.
Scientific advancement is expressed through the use of systems of
representation bound to science, religion and art, which are in tune
with a post modernism context. Such visual language is used to
satisfy an internal need to express a system of ideas and universal
beliefs. In my scientific endeavour there are a number of enigmatic
symbols, marks and tokens applied on the surface of the canvas to
evoke universal values and to express this pilgrimage to discover a hidden order.

and the obvious visual hierarchy (where each symbol appears to be
positioned to suggest an order implied importance) and within another
layer there exists a subtle dialogue between symbols, a pull of
opposites and another layer of meaning.

Various veils with spiritual and scientific associations are
developed to highlight a divine order. Micro-organisms, atoms,
nucleus, neutrons and protons are present to symbolize our nuclear
roots. (Word document)
