isaac egas buco London, United Kingdom
London-based multidisciplinary artist working in digital, painting, and 3D forms. My practice explores identity, trauma, and transformation through surreal, psychological portraiture and symbolic inner landscapes.
My practice explores the psychological and emotional forces that shape identity. I work across digital, painting, and 3D media, using each form to uncover different layers of the inner world. My pieces combine surreal portraiture, expressive linework, and symbolic abstraction to map the tensions between fragmentation and cohesion, silence and eruption, trauma and transformation.
Drawing from my background in psychology and my lived experience, I create visual narratives that give form to feelings often held in the body rather than in language. Whether digital or physical, each work is built from layered symbols, distorted figures, and shifting masks. I’m interested in how viewers recognise themselves in these distortions, and how art can externalise what the mind hides.
My current focus is on developing a body of work investigating identity, labels, and becoming—transforming chaotic internal landscapes into something honest, raw, and alive.
