AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Collector's item.
100% hand-painted on cotton canvas.
Work sent without a frame, in a shipping tube via DHL Express.
Accompanied by COA, a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
In the artwork System, the artist confronts the duality between obedience and rebellion, tradition and contestation. The female figure, which recalls the classical glamour of a golden age, appears marked by symbols of contemporary counterculture: tattoos, piercings, and identity scars. The phrase “school kills artists” engraved on the neck echoes as a manifesto against institutions that shape, repress, and limit creativity.
The halo above the head mocks the idea of purity and holiness, suggesting that even within a “system” there can be a sacred space of resistance. The background, with urban cues and warm tones, reinforces the street atmosphere and authenticity.
System is a portrait of the constant tension between the individual and the structure, beauty and dissidence, art and repression.
About Hione
Hione from Porto is a visual artist who, since 2013, has been transforming walls into works of art, using graffiti as his main form of expression. His career, which began on the streets of the city, reflects a deep connection with urban culture. Each creation is a unique fusion of vibrant colors and bold shapes.
Over the years, Hione has developed a distinctive style that transcends traditional graffiti conventions, integrating elements of contemporary art, illustration, and graphic design. His work is showcased in both public and private settings, always aiming to provoke reflection and inspire the audience.
With over a decade of experience, Hione has successfully brought his art to new audiences, participating in various exhibitions and collaborative projects.
At this moment, Hione continues to challenge the limits of graffiti, deepening his exploration in the figurative field and maintaining a keen eye on the evolution of his personal style, as well as the impact of his art on the world around him.
