Gabriel Portela: an odyssey beyond the veil of reality

"My work unfolds like a logbook, a diary. The logbook of a journey from here to beyond the curtain of reality, and the safety of established forms. Each frame is a torn page from what is lying beyond the void. A fragment of emotion transfigured, and disfigured into digital matter. They preserve the memory of a passage, a vertigo, a revelation. Within this logbook, dreams and nightmares merge and give rise to inner landscapes where imagination takes form through vast blackened abysses where penitent souls lurk, searching for solace and identity. Starving and begging for dying gods. I began to write this log when I was 7, till now, inspired by what I see each time I blink.


My name is Gabriel Portela, also known as Vorace. I've been a self taught French drawer since I'm 3 and I discovered digital art at 20 then got a degree in graphic production and started to work for bands to forge my visual identity. My influences and inspirations came from miscellaneous experiences with religions, addictions, and death."
