Description of the Artwork “CLAUSURA”
NOTE: This is a circle canva artwork 40cm x 40cm “Clausura” brings the fluid image of a rough gemstone but which carries a dark depth. The face of a spectral being who is trapped in agony and sadness is the main element, leading the viewer to reflect on the relationship between imprisonment and preciousness. The fluid style brings the sensation of movement, but at the same time, it also brings the feeling that this being will always be imprisoned. Ancient legends suggest that imprisoning beings in precious objects was a practice used by alchemists, wizards and powerful kings. According to these stories, precious stones, crystals and artifacts of great value were seen as perfect containers to store spirits, as it was believed that their shine and durability could eternalize the trapped energy.
Otrebor, Portugal
My name is Roberto and I am a visual artist. Otrebor has always been present within me, since the first days I perceived the world around me. He is the manifestation of that side that matured too soon, that observed reality with a different, deeper and, at times, darker look. Since I was a child, I have been drawn to horror films, to images that others would avoid. The B side of life, the shadows that go unnoticed, have always instilled something in me, like a silent call to explore what hides beyond the surface. My journey as an artist is not just an aesthetic quest, but an ongoing dive into the unresolved emotions and invisible landscapes of the psyche. Through Otrebor, I invite the viewer to face discomfort, embrace the complexity of existence, and find beauty where most see only darkness. Each work is a portal to this introspection — a chance to reveal the B side within us all. Otrebor's art is a reflection of this hidden side. Every brushstroke, every composition is an expression of this duality—the beauty found in darkness, the truth revealed in the deepest corners of the human soul. Through my art, I seek to confront and explore the unknown, the unspoken, what many prefer not to see. Otrebor is the mirror of an internal universe, where shadows are not feared, but accepted as an integral part of the human experience.
