El Pelele

El Pelele is the artistic alter ego of Lucas Gabriel Cardo, a multidisciplinary artist exploring identity, trash aesthetics, and internet culture. His work blends performance, video, poetry, and sound, addressing themes like sexuality and witchcraft. Rejecting academic constraints, he embraced an autodidactic approach where the mask symbolizes the split between self and persona. His art challenges the boundaries between reality and the virtual, manipulating time and nostalgia through layered meanings. El Pelele is a living entity navigating art provocatively and thoughtfully.
