"São Jorge" translates the intersection between architectural rigor and geometric vanguards such as Cubism and Constructivism. Through a balanced composition of planes and symmetries, the classic theme is deconstructed into a dynamic and purely geometric visual narrative. Here, form does not merely suggest movement; it organizes the pictorial space with the precision of a structural project, reflecting decades of experience in the built environment.
The artwork's volume is built from strategic chromatic contrasts that lend depth and weight to concrete forms. The meticulous study of light and shadows is essential to transforming the two-dimensional into a tactile experience of three-dimensionality. With minimized strokes and visual synthesis, the canvas invites the viewer to explore the harmony between color, light, and the architectural logic applied to contemporary art.

This work merges architectural rigor with Cubism, deconstructing the classic theme into geometric planes and sharp light contrasts. Rather than mere movement, the composition organizes the pictorial space with structural precision, transforming the canvas into a tactile, three-dimensional experience.
The piece celebrates Saint George as the ultimate triumph of light over darkness. By stripping away the superfluous, the focus shifts to spiritual fortitude and courage. The geometric balance serves as a metaphor for unwavering faith, elevating the religious icon into a universal monument of harmony and order.
