The bodies Sokar uno creates using spray cans, paint rollers and brushes, seem like they were broken apart and then glued back together in bust like pieces, which attributes to their morbid looks and adds a haptic layer to the painting. Sokar uno, who, besides obtaining an apprenticeship as a technical drafter is a self-taught artist, processes current events as well as his own very personal experiences and state of mind with his art. Having worked as a restorer, his artworks sometimes even touches upon myths surrounding historical paintings.
