Through his art practice, Pedro Cherino tries to become a self-taught painter. He has no previous painting education; in fact, he was schooled as a designer first and then as a sculptor. Pedro explores the act of painting by pouring layers and layers of different colors that create a fortune composition. The material's thickness pushes the paint to extend beyond the canvas, transforming it into something nearly sculptural. His work consistently features alluring colors and curvilinear forms. Currently, he is creating large-scale pieces in his studio in Rotterdam.
Residency at Foundation b.a.d.
I submitted my application to start on January 1st at Foundation B.a.d. for a duration of five months. The residency provides both studio space and living accommodations. I plan to hold two exhibitions to showcase my progress: one in the middle of the residency and the other at the end.
Jeroen Jongeleen is the head of the residency. Together, we have outlined a mentorship plan for my project over these five months, which includes discussions with fellow artists
