About

(EN) SatOne is illustrator and self-employed artist in Munich, originally from Venezuela.
The skilled graphic designer discovered his interest in graffiti in early life, developed
his very own style in an intensive way and found a formal vocabulary, that perpetrated
a fascinating middle course between technocracy and the artwork of imaginary worlds.
The figures seem futuristicabstract, still don´t miss a certain clemency by having organic
forms and faces.
The skilful mixture of graphic style and free acrylic elements brings suspense and opens up
worlds, in which graphic design, illustration and abstract art melt into an inseparable unity.

(D) “Live starts at the end of your comfort zone.”
SatOne wurde 1977 in Venezuela geboren und wuchs in München auf.
Der gelernte Grafikdesigner entdeckte schon früh sein Interesse an Graffiti,
entwickelte jedoch kontinuierlich einen Stil, der fern historisch gewachsener Formen-
und Bildersprache das vermeintlich oberflächlich Schöne verneint.
SatOne konstruiert mit seinen nichteuklidischen geometrischen Abstraktionen und futuristisch-
anmutenden Formen eine förmliche aber nicht greifbare Welt; eine Welt, in der die räumliche
Wirkung existiert ohne jedoch durch klassische physikalische Gesetze in ihrer Ausprägung predeter-
miniert zu sein.
SatOnes Gratwanderung zwischen konstruktivistischer Klarheit und futuristischer Abwendung
von klassisch definierten Geometrievorstellungen, rezitiert mikroskopische Formen,
visualisiert kühn-visionäre Quantenphysik oder bannt, ganz im Stile der klassischen Science-Fiction,
Phantasien zu Hyperraum und Realität auf Leinwand.
SatOne erscheint mit seiner Vielschichtigkeit und seiner Präzision als Architekt einer parallel existierenden Realität,
bei der sich die physikalische Form ihrer Baumaterialien, fernab irdischer Gravitation, erst in ihrer Kombination
miteinander manifestiert. Raum ohne Dimension, Form ohne Masse und Zeit nicht unbedingt linear – das Fremde und
Undurchschaubare, das Unverständliche bleibt immanent
und begleitet uns als dunkler Schaten auf imaginären Reisen.
