As his work evolved, Borneo embraced a more abstract approach. Patterns, shapes, and gradients become part of a more mature language, in a relentless quest for new layers of beauty and meanings.

Maikol de Sousa (Caracas, Venezuela), also known as Borneo, is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Barcelona. His work is characterized by vibrant colors, patterns, and characters that serve as a starting point in the development of his particular visual language. Borneo dedicates time to exploring and developing this form of expression while expanding his work into new formats, including painting, urban art, and ceramics. As an inherently perfectionistic individual, Borneo channels this characteristic into crafting unique pieces that are not only visually striking but also reflect the complexity of his creative journey.
