CRIATURAS/CREATURES - Characters portrayed as a kind of robot on screens and illustrations. This is a project idealized by João Cardoso, aka CARDOZ, who, by extolling the most creative minds, aims to awaken the awareness of observers to some of the current issues of society: excessive use of mobile devices, dependence on social networks, artificial intelligence and its form of use; a tribute to art and a criticism of the type of visual content often promoted through the use of social platforms.

The works that make up the CRIATURAS series by CARDOZ are mostly composed of a base made of collages of images from a small collection of the magazine “Vida Mundial”, between the years 1967 and 1969. These were used in order to highlight the idea of ​​each of the pieces with some of the most pressing social issues then and yet still current, such as excess industrial production, machismo or global surveillance.

In a mixed technique, CARDOZ then illustrates these bases with his CREATURES, which he gives life with acrylic paint, Posca pen and white glue. A view of today's society.
