cydr

Cydr is a 22-year-old self-taught artist from Brazil who explores the intersection of human imperfection and digital error in a style he calls “synesthetic distortionism.” Influenced by his challenges with visualization and memory, he transforms fragmented thoughts and dreams into striking visual realities, often exaggerating features to add abstraction and invite personal interpretation. Drawing inspiration from visual glitches in video games—a lifelong passion—he embraces distortion to add intrigue and comment on the futility of seeking perfection. As a colorblind artist, he employs punchy, vibrant colors as a way to understand value and to construct his digital worlds, blending organic and synthetic elements.
