Birò - A Nostalgic Glimpse from the Future at the 20th Century

In the contemporary landscape, BIRO’ emerges as an artist who seamlessly blends modernism, futurism, and dadaism into a unique visual language, characterized by the use of simple and accessible tools such as A4 paper and the ubiquitous BIC pen. Her works serve as a profound reflection on the interplay between technology and humanity, manifested through the creation of "cybernetic" creatures that embody both individuality and a collective consciousness.

These semi-organic and semi-metallic entities not only mimic their surrounding environment but also adapt and contribute to their habitat, fiercely battling against threats to their existence. Their genesis is inspired by a multitude of sources—music, literature, film—that shape their form and function.

BIRO’s visual language expresses itself through personal calligraphy and symbols that resemble hieroglyphs, evoking melodies and rhythms. Her works embark on a journey through the stream of consciousness, where emotion intertwines with logic, and each hand-drawn mark reveals a unique intonation.

In this artistic dialogue, the influence of luminaries such as Aubrey Beardsley and David Bowie resonates, uncovering connections to historical artistic traditions like symbolism and surrealism. Random associations and multitasking thought are central to BIRO’s creative process, giving rise to sketches and scribbles that act as "pearls" of contemplation.
