Fausto Amundarain

Born in Caracas in 1992. Visual artist whose research is grounded in various references, initially exploring identities reflected in children's icons, comics, press photographs, and other elements of the collective imagination. This exploration involves an interpretive process that reflects an observed obsession, translating into meticulous care for each image, element, or discovery.

His artistic production is centered on generating powerful interpretive stimuli with high technical elaboration, emphasizing the meticulous construction of projects. He studied Art and Design in Caracas in 2010, later advancing his skills in screen printing, drawing, and painting in New York City in 2014.
