Colour-pyrotechnician; visionary; inspired of the natural world, Guerra’s imagery is a refuge of childhood dreams and memoirs where one can find shelter and comfort from the complexities and shadows of a mature reality. His sitters are a culmination of emotions and experiences, gazing out of their beautiful landscapes as they evoke feelings of happiness, safety and protection. They are symbols of our pasts and the beautiful echoes of it that live within the hearts and memories of all of us. Guerra creatively portrays this nostalgia within the context of mythology and fairytales, using the powerful and universal force of storytelling to strengthen and expand his connections further.
Each youthful character patiently waits for that bridge to reconnect us to these places and times where we’ve previously lived, felt and grown, to become who we are today. For we would not be just that without the world as seen through our younger eyes and experiences. Guerra’s work strengthens this link of the heart and celebrates its many emotions and labyrinths that make each and everyone of us the unique beings we’ve become and will continue to be.
