ENTRE FERRO E SUBCONSCIENTE
AN EXHIBITION OF SCULPTURE AND PAINTING
A dialogue between the strength of iron and the depth of the subconscious.
Two German artists, connected by roots in Hamburg, a spirit of independence and a nonconformist vision, meet in Portugal to create a rare artistic dialogue. Raw iron and vibrant painting collide in an immersive experience that explores the tension between matter and mind.
“Entre Ferro e Subconsciente” brings together two artistic languages that, at first glance, seem worlds apart. Yet in this encounter, iron and image find a powerful common ground. The solid, enduring nature of iron meets the volatile, emotional and dreamlike universe of painting. The result is a tension that speaks to our own reality: the constant balance between what holds us together and what lives within us.
An exhibition that invites you to slow down, look closer and feel deeper.
ABSNP
André Pihera, known as ABSNP, is a visual artist whose work moves between graffiti culture, psychedelic pop surrealism, and comic-inspired imagery. Rooted in street art and driven by a lifelong urge to create, his paintings explore the subconscious, emotional tension, societal co.ntradictions, and suppressed impulses through vibrant colors, dark humor, and layered symbolism. Working across various materials and surfaces, ABSNP creates raw yet playful visual worlds that challenge perception and invite deeper reflection.
Frank Peters
Frank Peters is a German sculptor and master blacksmith who has lived and worked in Portugal since 1989. For more than three decades, he has dedicated his practice to the transformation of raw iron into expressive sculptural forms that balance strength, precision, and timeless beauty. Rooted in traditional forging techniques yet deeply contemporary in spirit, his work explores themes of permanence, resistance, and material presence through handcrafted iron sculptures shaped by patience, weight, and fire.
