Thomas Swan (Thomas Bittencourt)

I enjoy making art that is alive.

I’ve worked with different materials and techniques over the years, but textile is what stayed with me. I love building delicate pieces that move, that change when light hits them, or when the fresh breeze passes through a room.

I was born in Brazil but raised in Denmark, and have always been interested in the balance between color and simplicity. Every line has a reason. Every color is a choice.

I find inspiration in the colors of the sky, and the way we see life change and move in front of our eyes. Because art, like us, should never stand still.
