Jorge Bandarra is a portuguese figurative queer artist. The male body and portraiture are the primary interests for his artwork. His artwork can be erotic sometimes. Graphite, charcoal, pastel and pencils are technics he uses mostly. Oil and watercolour artworks are options too, when needed. The artist likes to explore mixing technics. The creative process starts by using photos or online sessions as a reference for ink pen studies ( you can find most of those studies available as prints or downloads). When possible the artist prefers to work from life. Although Bandarra has a gradiation in Visual Design, he chooses handmade artworks and still considers himself a self-taugh artist. His work is collected mostly in the United States of America, but also in Germany, France, Belgium, Canada, Spain, Ukrain and Portugal.The artist is interested in photography too, nonprofissional way. The artist offers works on commission.
