Drawing from his formal training and deep fascination with drawing, SakoAsko has developed a distinct pictorial language, crafting a universe of narrative vignettes and enigmatic fables. His work often reflects on the inner lives of individuals, exploring the motivations and hesitations that shape critical decisions. SakoAsko’s art bridges cultural and thematic boundaries. A recurring motif in his work is the “window,” symbolizing perception and interpretation, offering viewers a metaphorical lens through which to explore the world.

MURAL DESCRIPTION:
This mural speaks about the importance of expressing our emotions. In the composition, we see a character cornered on the stairs who has removed their face or mask, allowing their emotions to flow. These emotions are depicted as colorful figures, representing the six basic human emotions: joy, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, and disgust. The character is naked because they are in a moment of vulnerability. This mural is an invitation for the viewer to allow themselves to feel and be.
