"After training in film, I am increasingly dedicating myself to painting and currently focusing on depictions of the microorganisms that live within us."

Zaq Guimarães

Geneva-based artist and president of PVA Genève

"My work is based on the fascinating images that these studies often produce of viruses or bacteria living in our bodies.

The « cellular constellations » that I offer represent a painterly reinterpretation of the cells that make us who we are.

My inspiration comes from the numerous medical examinations I have undergone over the years.

My work thus offers an artistic reinterpretation of these microscopic images, which I connect with galaxies, nebulae, planets, and stars."
