Gustavo’s work is informed by a profound admiration for manual labor, its associated agency, and the power it holds to transform our surroundings – literally, and through its inherent impact on our social fabric.

His artistic endeavors stretch across various mediums, with a particular focus on re-contextualizing everyday materials — often construction-related — into thought-provoking pieces. By challenging the conventional use of materials, Gustavo seeks to blur the lines between functionality and artistic expression in building.

Gustavo holds a Bachelor from Florida State University and an MID from the Pratt Institute. He lives and works in New York City.
