Visual Poetics and Transcendent Function
The work of Gabriel Young (known in the urban art world as Gael) is born at the convergence point between ancient spirituality and the precision of contemporary design. Developed from personal themes and emotions, his mandalas revive the anthropological value and archetypal power of the circle. Through the study of repetitive patterns, radial symmetries, and mathematical proportions, each piece is conceived as a contemplative object.
More than an aesthetic pursuit, Young’s art offers a sensory and therapeutic experience. Guided by the principle that a contemplative gaze induces a state of inner silence, his creations reflect the viewer's own psyche. Rigorous symmetry and dense detail act as visual magnets that calm the mind, structure the surrounding atmosphere, and lead the receptive viewer toward reconnection and transcendence.
Art, Design, and Technology
Holding a degree in Design from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Gabriel grounds his work in the enriching intersection between plastic creation and design rigor. Inspired by masters of perspective and cosmic geometry such as M.C. Escher and Fibonacci principles the artist harmonizes the intuitive gesture of hand-drawing with cutting-edge technologies like laser cutting, laser engraving, and 3D printing.
This symbiosis makes it possible to transfer the refinement of hand drawn lines onto noble wood, various materials, and three dimensional surfaces, preserving the artwork's authenticity and exclusivity alongside flawless technical execution.
Career and Global Presence
The versatility of his visual language has enabled his work to expand across multiple mediums and international borders. With murals and artworks exhibited in six countries: Italy, Germany, France, Spain, England, and the Netherlands, Gabriel Young’s trajectory is marked by a continuous dialogue between indoor art and large scale urban art.
His signature transitions seamlessly across India ink canvases, cut out sculptures, architectural interventions, product design, and public murals. Throughout his career, he has participated in major cultural events such as the Brazilian Design Biennial, Casa Cor, and the Elephant Parade, as well as leading workshops and lectures on mandala and graffiti art at universities, schools, and ONGs.
Space and Experience
Tailored for a market seeking to humanize, refine, and harmonize residential, corporate, and institutional spaces, Gabriel Young’s portfolio serves collectors, gallerists, architects, and interior designers. Each piece is an invitation to slow down the daily pace and integrate into contemporary architecture an artwork that carries soul, history, and purpose.
