A journey
through the mind.

Between drawing, matter and dreams.

PEDRO PALRÃO · VISUAL POETRY

01 / BIOGRAPHY

Between form
and dream.

Pedro Palrão (Portalegre, 1984) is a visual artist and graphic designer. His practice spans digital oneirism, drawing, collage and poem objects.

He graduated in Graphic Design from IADE in 2007 and studied at Elisava in Barcelona through Erasmus. Returning to Portugal, he created the visual culture magazine Ncontrast — Conceitos Perpendiculares. Design and digital experimentation run alongside his artistic practice.

In his images, organic forms fragment, repeat and overlap. Dreams become a place from which to observe the mind: an exploration of what changes when we look inward. Words accompany images, extending them into visual poetry.

“De todas as jornadas que fiz até hoje....o passeio pela mente é o mais desafiante!”
