Hermes Bertoni

Hermes Bertoni is a contemporary visual artist known for his evocative explorations of memory, identity, and transcendence through mixed media. Born in 1987 in São Paulo, Brazil, Bertoni was exposed early to the vibrant cultural milieu of his hometown, an influence that would come to permeate his practice. After receiving formal training in fine arts at the University of São Paulo, he gravitated toward a multidisciplinary approach, blending painting, sculpture, and installation with digital technology.

His work frequently draws on themes of migration and belonging, reflecting both personal experiences and broader social narratives. Bertoni’s pieces are characterized by layered textures, symbolic motifs, and a distinctive interplay between color and light, inviting viewers to participate in introspective journeys. With exhibitions throughout South America and in selected European galleries, Bertoni has steadily gained recognition for the emotional resonance and intellectual depth of his art, positioning him among the most compelling voices in the contemporary Brazilian art scene.
