Thaeras is a multi-disciplinary artist who practices painting and body posing. Examining rigid social categorizations in spatial, temporal, as well as social aspects.
The artist transforms his experiences of personal trauma from his early life until the present time into a highly personal and poetic visual language.
By exploring interconnecting backgrounds as an artist, model, and editor in the publishing industry, he also questions the border between the binaries of outsider/insider, subject/object, and performer/spectator in the industry, bringing them to excavate his embodied experience in daily bases to ethical/aesthetical level.
The process of making art for Thaeras is a form of catharsis and recording the trauma experiences. Nevertheless, often the purification of colors in his works creates a sense of deep transcendence and therapeutic serenity.
