Sinódoque III

Sinédoque III
Frederico Pompeu
2025

In Sinédoque, the artist explores painting and ceramics as a process of reaction and discovery, where unpredictability and irregularity are essential.

Each piece emerges from an initial gesture to which the artist responds intuitively, adjusting, compensating, and composing. “The pieces come to be as they come to be, without a defined path or goal,” they state, embracing chance as a driving force for creativity. Fragments of a whole, the pieces exist individually but gain new layers of meaning when brought together, reflecting a constant negotiation between belonging and acceptance.
