GERA 1

GERA 1 is a visual artist who lives and works in Athens. He started as a graffiti writer in 2009, and in 2021 he graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. His work focuses on the reinterpretation of reality through the visualization of repetitive color planes.

Drawing his influences from the aesthetics of glitch art, he attempts to connect parallel stories that unfold through multiple layers of movement, form, and texture. His figurative expression becomes part of an abstract language in which alteration and distortion coexist in an environment of harmonious deconstruction.

Inspired by graffiti, he seeks to work on different surfaces using spray as his main material. Through distortion and visual alterations, he creates fragmented structures redefining the limits of the real and the illusion of perfection. In his latest works, large-scale compositions are transferred to abstract-shaped canvases, making the most of the application of contrasting materials.

He has created murals and presented exhibitions in Athens, Thessaloniki, and other major countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Russia, and the USA.
