MAIN STREET, LOS ANGELES
by Claudio Ethos
Brazilian artist Claudio Rafael, aka Claudio Ethos, tells Find Art Magazine he believes "art is about process, discovery, and letting go of yourself...." He refuses to define his surreal images and says his work is "born from prolific dreams that haunt him two weeks at a time." In translating those dreams Claudio told @UrbanNation_Berlin his goal is to “depict emotional and spiritual states because there are no accurate definitions for so many of these sensations" and @PrettyPortal describes the result as a "twisted manipulation of images and landscapes." Now living part-time in Los Angeles, this untitled 8-year-old work on Main St at 5th St was one of the early pieces credited with helping launch the resurgence of public art in Downtown LA. @claudioethos/
