Fernando Chamarelli is a graphic designer, illustrator and artist. His works (according to the author himself) “include mosaic elements, geometric inserts, an organic combination of lines and shapes. All this combines ancient symbols, religions, philosophies, customs and legends with the fruits of the culture of modern civilizations. The abstract manner of writing, bright colors and beauty of symmetry, combined with psychedelic elements, endow the illustrator's work with a special, unique originality.
Fernando Chamarelli began his career with cartoons and cartoons, then he switched to realistic portraits and became interested in street art and tattoos. And it is not surprising that it was the latter that inspired him to create a new, abstract project. It is enough to remember how many masterpieces of street and urban art can be seen on the streets, and it becomes clear that these guys can inspire many with their creativity!
The illustrator emphasizes that it is the combination of classical painting and street art that forms his work. Fernando says: “In my opinion, we live in a post-cultural world, now the planet is one country, a big country full of contrasts. It is this environment that I wanted to reflect in my works. But most of all, within the framework of this diversity, the cultural environment is now influenced by the Brazilian folk culture and arts of indigenous peoples (by which I mean the so-called “pre-Columbian” peoples)”.
The art of Fernando Chamarelli keeps pace with globalization, it helps to overcome intercultural barriers.
“Totem characters with serious faces live in different cultural realities, but they are all unreal, abstract. Perhaps this is precisely the thread that connects civilization. Although, of course, music is of great importance for creativity: it plays an important role in the process of creating a picture, because it is thanks to it that you can feel the “common root”, the flow of energy flowing above us."
Unfortunately, the illustrator does not have his own Internet site, but many of his works are presented on the Internet. In particular, they can be seen here.

It seems strange, but more and more modern abstract artists in pursuit of originality are moving further and further from the beautiful, showing something terrible in their works.
