Pedro Gramaxo (1989) is a Portuguese contemporary artist, working in construction, photography and film, has been exhibiting in solo and group shows and public spaces since 2012 from Portugal, Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, to China, Holland, Iceland, Italy, and Russia.
His work has been published in physical and digital magazines and art platforms all over the world.
Channeling his practice of exploring the dualism between bodily presence and experience with altered states of perception, Pedro Gramaxo creates contrasts of man-made constructive elements with new artistic contexts.
Pedro develops research based on the importance of on-site presence and its relation with ourselves, space, time and our memory for higher levels of existence. This research deepens the human consciousness towards Art and "Hyperstates" .
