Is this true? Does it inspire your artwork?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, I\nam.&nbsp;&nbsp;I work in both professions, and that\u2019s the reason for the name\n\u201cSinergia\u201d (synergy in Portuguese).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From\nophthalmology, my artistic work arose; and my artistic work positively\ninfluenced ophthalmology in terms of the manual skill for surgery and the\nadvancement of my reasoning and creative thinking, which is so important in my\nclinical practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\nelse inspires your artwork? It reminds me of optical illusions!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>What inspires\nme are the studies of optics, theories of vision (how we see, how colors are\nseen, how the brain processes all this, etc.).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I study a\nlot of quantum physics and energy flows.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am very inspired by\nsacred geometry &#8211; that is, the area of \u200b\u200bgeometry that studies geometric\npatterns that are found in the universe, nature, cells and in everything that\nis alive &#8211; which are often very present in my work, due to the energetic force\nthat they carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"imagegallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.protapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2-Well-I-began-making-art-6-years-ago-and-for-two-and-a-half-years-I\u2019ve-worked-with-tape.jpg\" rel=\"imagegallery3633\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2-Well-I-began-making-art-6-years-ago-and-for-two-and-a-half-years-I\u2019ve-worked-with-tape.jpg\" alt=\"Well, I began making art 6 years ago, and for two and a half years I\u2019ve worked with tape\" class=\"wp-image-3642\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It\nlooks like you\u2019re into fashion design, too! Can you talk a little bit about\nthat?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a\npartnership with a clothing brand and I produce digital art designs for the\nbrand.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is an incredible experience because fashion is also art\n(but not everything people wear is art), and it is extremely interesting to\nwork on a geometric pattern and see it articulate three-dimensionally through a\npiece of clothing.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a geometric artist, this observation is even a\nkind of study, which greatly enhances the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which\nPro Tapes\u00ae products do you use in your work?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I mostly use <a href=\"\/products\/artist-tape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Pro\u00ae Artist Tape (opens in a new tab)\">Pro\u00ae Artist Tape<\/a> from Pro Tapes\u00ae to create my works. They have a great texture, have no elasticity and allow curves in the thickness that I use.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&#8217;ve used Pro Gaff\u00ae as well, and I like the strength of it, as well as the texture that sometimes is interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How\ndid you discover Pro\u00ae Artist Tape?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I was already\nusing tape for generic collages stuck to walls (just studies about\nophthalmology), and I liked to manipulate them.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also I was using\nmasking tapes for graffiti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time, I researched on the internet how I could use tape to help in my geometric art works and discovered countless artists that were already using tape as their main material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I fell in love with tape when I realized it could be a great ally for making straight lines with much less effort than brushes or spray, and with less mess. <a href=\"\/products\/artist-tape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Pro\u00ae Artist Tape (opens in a new tab)\">Pro\u00ae Artist Tape<\/a> optimized my creative process, so I started to use tape in every work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"imagegallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.protapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-my-artistic-work-positively-influenced-ophthalmology.jpg\" rel=\"imagegallery3633\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-my-artistic-work-positively-influenced-ophthalmology.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3643\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does\ntape allow you to do that other media (for example, paint) does not?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Tape\nallows me to make straight, homogenous lines, and a unique color, with the same\nthickness from beginning to end. They have a texture and high relief that\ninterests me a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, In\ncase I miss the exact position I wanted to place the tape within my geometric\npattern, I just peel it off and put it elsewhere.&nbsp;No mess, accurate, and\nwith great impact!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What other media \/ tools do you use along with tape to create your art?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I use\nstylets to cut the tapes, rulers and compasses, and also digital editing\nprograms to study geometric patterns. In graffiti artworks, I use masking tape,\nsprays, brushes and paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If\nsomeone has never used tape to create art, what advice would you give them?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Tapes are\nvery versatile and make it possible to create brilliant artistic styles.
