He also spends a lot of time in his own studio, where he creates fascinating collages. He also runs an online art gallery. His motifs are mostly icons that combine with memories of our childhood and youth and release positive energies. His unique style finds its unusual expression in images that not only bring new life to film and rock stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, James Dean, Elvis Presley or Jimi Hendrix, but also fascinating comics and superheroes. His works are not only to be understood as an homage to Pop Art, which tells stories from bygone days with strong heroes and divas, but also as modern art that leaves plenty of room for your own memories and inspiration. Adriano Cuencas uses clippings from old posters for his pop collages. He also uses spray, glitter, acrylic paints, stones, sequins, metal cuts and fabric to refine his works. He confidently sticks, sprays and refines his motifs into exciting compositions. The surface is always sealed with layers of epoxy lacquer, which gives the work of art a fresh "high-gloss effect". The irregular shapes provide interesting outlines that turn his works of art into great wall decorations. His compositions hang in private collections in Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, the USA, Singapore and Brazil. The mixed media compositions by Cuencas can be viewed in Rikon 8486 by appointment. Adriano Cuencas has lived in Switzerland since 1998, is married and has three children.
