Sobral Centeno's work is deeply connected with the recent history of the world, and the consequences of the political and cultural tensions. Centeno is a storyteller, his unique, and sometimes irreverent, way to playfully confront the essence of reality results in a deep reflection on memory, freedom, cultural identity and life discoveries.

His paintings are vivid and energetic confronting a collective memory with the artist unique gestures absorbing pop-culture in its most expressive way. Symbolic objects, believes, and rituals stand among the recurrent motifs of Centeno’s often organized in compositions in which different civilizations and ideologies deliriously collide to capture the ironies of our contemporary society.
