{"description":"Ricardo Passaporte \u2013 Elementary\nIn this video, Portuguese artist Ricardo Passaporte opens up about his creative process, from his early roots in graffiti to his approach to layering imagery in the studio. Rather than working from academic traditions, Passaporte draws inspiration from found media and the spontaneity of spray paint, often repainting over previous works until something authentic emerges. He discusses his preference for joy in creation over perfection in result, and how his canvases mirror the layered textures of urban walls \u2014 a blend of vandalism, memory, and gesture.\nThis exclusive video was produced by Valerius Gallery as part of the exhibition Elementary.\n\n\n\n\nTimestamps:\n0:00 \u2013 Intro\n0:23 \u2013 What matters most in your work?\n1:00 \u2013 How long does it usually take you to finish a painting?\n1:21 \u2013 What makes you choose your subjects?\n1:39 \u2013 How do you usually start a painting?\n1:57 \u2013 Why does your painting look blurry sometimes?","height":2160,"html":"<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%\"><iframe src=\"https://skiv.com/embed/2vG2oE9\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;left:0;top:0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"fullscreen\" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>","provider_name":"Skiv","provider_url":"https://skiv.com","thumbnail_height":198,"thumbnail_url":"https://cdn.skiv.com/u/VZUsUj7/869b1acb7a2ac468481978045f9164409102ec9e97152d71d0bfe5e995faad91/thumbnails/thumbnail.jpg","thumbnail_width":352,"title":"2 minutes with Ricardo Passaporte","type":"video","url":"https://skiv.com/v/2vG2oE9","version":"1.0","width":3840}
