Hello

Horten Werneck is an international contemporary artist whose work stands out for its experimentation and continuous search for new forms of expression. Born in 1961, Werneck possesses vast experience in the visual arts world, which led him to develop a unique style characterized by vibrant colors, expressive forms, and a deep connection with nature and popular culture.

His work, rich in symbolism and emotion, moves between painting, sculpture, and installation, inviting the public to immerse themselves in his particular universe. An important milestone in his trajectory is the "Galo Series," initiated in 2014, which represents a moment of artistic maturation and career consolidation.

In this series, the artist explores the symbolism of the rooster (galo) as a metaphor for life, renewal, and struggle, utilizing a rich and expressive visual language. Furthermore, the adoption of the pseudonym "Horten Werneck" marks a new phase in his career, celebrating his artistic evolution and family roots.

Under this pseudonym, the artist signs the new phase of his career, which began with the creation of the "Galo Series Development" (DSG). Over the years, Horten Werneck has established himself as one of the most important names in international contemporary art, creating works that explore universal themes and move the public.
