EBOOK

Gustavo Floering is a visual artist and digital creator focusing on sculpture, painting, art objects, writing and illustration. He specializes in art doll sculptures, animating articulated bodies full of life and stories by mixing fantasy elements with forms inspired by Nature.

With his ever evolving approach, he develops multisensory works by interweaving different dimensions of creation. He also applies his own sustainable art techniques, reusing plastic, paper and other discarded materials in his research and practice of intuitive alchemy.

Gustavo expresses art as an extension of the soul and a way of discovering peculiar creatures that inhabit their inner worlds. The artist's style navigates between magical realism, visionary and fantastic art, seeking a deeper meaning in reality by creating with symbolic images and textures of his dreams.

CURRICULUM

Visual artist, writer, and digital creator with over 10 years of cultural experience, Gustavo ​Floering specializes in eco-sculpture, illustration, art objects, and creative writing. His ​original work tells stories by blending elements of fantasy with nature-inspired forms ​through a unique worldview as a neurodivergent individual (Autistic, ADHD, and Gifted). ​He primarily works on social media, engaging a large national and international audience ​(+200,000 followers) through his magical arts portal, TerraTundra.

In 2024, he produced his short film "Masks of the Spectrum", funded by the Lei Paulo ​Gustavo, where he served as artist, screenwriter, director, and art director.

Gustavo expresses art as an extension of the soul and as a way to ​discover the peculiar creatures that inhabit his inner worlds.

BIO

Born in Recife – PE (Brazil, 1993), Gustavo started playing with art and creating characters from a very young age. In his introspection, he liked to play RPGs, watch fantasy animations, read, draw and write stories with his miniatures in the garden at home. And he never stopped.

He also spent hours in his grandmother's studio, an enchanted place full of fabrics, threads, treasures and memories.

He studied a degree in Visual Arts at UFPE for 3 years but due to daily challenges he decided to interrupt his academic studies. At the same time, he was already producing art and wanted with all his heart to make a living from it and travel. He dreamed of visiting other places, working on his communication and growing as an artist by exploring new paths of creation.

Thus, in 2016 he created his magical arts project TerraTundra, starting a life as a nomadic artist. He spent 4 years traveling through Brazil and Latin America on a journey of self-knowledge, discovery and new experiences around the world.

In 2020 he set up his studio in Araucária – PR where he currently lives and works. Since then, the project has taken root and continues to expand.

As an adult, he discovered he was a neurodivergent person (Autistic, ADHD and gifted) and began to understand more about his peculiarities. He transformed difficulties into social interaction, verbal communication and sensory stimuli by finding in artistic production a space to develop his skills and seek his place in the world.

Passionate about different languages, the artist has an incessant desire to create new universes with his work inspired by the mysteries of nature. Art has enabled ways to communicate with the outside world and express his soul in other ways - art speaks when the voice fails.
