Feik

With a talent for art that began in school notebooks, Feik comes from the culture of graffiti and pixação: in the beginning he wrote “enigma” and “sem necex”, and, in 98, he wrote “feik”.

At the same time he met "Estopa and Salmos and together they formed the IP (public enemy) crew, when he also began to draw drawings of extra-terrestrials, and in the evolution of their features, the ETs became increasingly deformed, becoming Insects. Insects that, ironically, were one of his main hobbies, as children's games in his grandfather's backyard and which today have become his studio.

Since then, Feik has been “acquiring a huge catalog of bizarre species” and another very strong species of insects that are playful and fun to appreciate.

Insects inhabit the walls and ruins of the city, with creative colors and shapes, which are often accompanied by the names of politicians – “the country’s disease”, he says. They are also a metaphor for graffiti itself, which “spreads like an epidemic” tremendously (InFeikção).

Feik started creating surreal scenarios and situations to insert his insects. These new super colorful but harmonious scenarios serve as a kind of camouflage for your insects, characters and objects.

The other character, who in contrast to his creatures, has very simple features but has already acquired his own personality.

Even outside the streets, the art on Feik's canvases has strong links with graffiti culture: his name always appears in elaborate letters and there is a character, a striking feature in old school graffiti. Each year Feik makes his productions bigger and with more content, and in doing so attracts the attention of new audiences and admirers of his art.

Even though his work is difficult to enter into historical contexts, his art can be compared to Bosh's moral criticism of society and Escher's game of illusion.
