Felipe Veeck incorporates into his work the experiences that shape his daily life. His art engages with the perception of everyday life in Vila Farrapos, a peripheral neighborhood of Porto Alegre. Affections and experiences manifest through interactions, objects, landscapes, and characters represented in his drawings. Vibrant colors and meticulous details in each element construct visual narratives that highlight the local community and its lived realities.
His work moves between memory and imagination, drawing inspiration from pop culture, video games, anime, and animation, creating a visual universe where the familiar and the fantastic intersect. As part of his creative process, Veeck uses simple editing tools and pushes their limitations, crafting a dimension where pixels gain form and texture. For the 14th Mercosul Biennial, the artist created two commissioned works, bringing his aesthetic into the urban landscape by reproducing an original drawing, in lambe format, located at the Estação Cidadania Restinga. By expanding his art into public spaces, Veeck strengthens the dialogue between digital and physical realms, between the intimate and the collective, transforming the city into a canvas.
