The German and international artist Matthias Contzen (b. 1964) based in Portugal since 1998, lives and works in Lisbon. Represented by important Galleries in Paris and the USA, in the multimedia expression of his work, light and sound come together with marble, his privileged raw material, to illuminate and enrich it. Your work is represented in private and public collections, in several countries in Europe, in Brazil, in the USA, in Canada, in China and in India. In 2009, he founded the Sculpture Factory in
Sintra, which he runs and operates as a studio and art gallery. His work, which falls within a conceptual line of contemporary art, expresses ideas and concepts based on the central and vital structures of matter and on the archetypal and symbolic forms of the Universe, as documented by the magnificence of the Universe. This is a series of labyrinths that he presents to us today in his engravings in 4 color variants. Its acrylic pieces that combine the square and the circle, evoke the structure of
mandalas, instruments for meditation and integration of the being in the Cosmos.
