Renan Estivan is a multidisciplinary designer and textile artist residing in Salvador, Bahia. The erotic tapestries follow his personal and emotional point of view on the contrasts of sexual cultures, the study of bodies, gender performance and male sexuality. It transits through various contemporary embroidery and tapestry techniques, from square stitches, with the application of pixel art to tapestry fabrics, to the electric tufting gun for artistic tapestry. Renan is inspired by Brazilian artists, such as Kennedy Bahia and Rubico, textile artists from Bahia who were part of the tropicalismo movement in the late 60s, and Alair Gomes, a photographer with whom he shares his observant look at the male bodies that make up the landscapes of coastal cities
