Felipe Vásconez (b. 1995, Ecuadorian) is a visual artist based in Helsinki, working with drawing, painting, and various printmaking techniques. Felipe’s work depicts an imaginative drift that blurs the distinction between everyday life, emotions, and method. Working as a cleaner has inspired scenarios that evoke the overarching themes of nostalgia, ego, loneliness, and memory. Much of his inspiration comes from literature, which has charged his work with metaphors, irony, and sarcasm. Felipe always carries a notebook and drawing tools, as most of his ideas are born through drawing. Drawing is for him a daily ritual: “My drawings are a kind of introspective research executed in different drawing media, a recurring attempt to portray my inner world.” He has undertaken art studies at the University of the Arts, and ITAE in Ecuador, and his work has most recently been exhibited at Puublica_lab, Italy, Myymälä2, Finland, and Arbeit in Auslage, Austria.
