His works expand on elements from Brazilian folk culture, weaving them with his own personal vision. Finok places the subjects of his canvases in visually striking contexts, creating patterns with wood, often layering different planes, punctuating the surface. Behind what seems like an innocent game actually lurks a violent nature which turns into a battle for survival. For the artist, it represents a way of preparing for the perils that come with adult life.
In his recent work, using the principle of popular imagery related to Brazilian beliefs, Finok presents a profound look at the perplexity that the boy from the suburbs suffers in discovering the wiles of the world. Later, as an adult, his wisdom and spirituality lead him to protect himself.
