According to the criticism, “Sometimes (Biju) uses the elements fire to compose a new all, artifice which refers to the processes of “assemblage”. Many other, spray your turning it into raw materials which makes up the drawing and color on the surface, creating a sort of “aluminium painting” you see, for example, in the flags”, Enumerates.
Baptist also highlights the influences of modern art in the works of the artist: “In the context of the Brazilian expression that emerges from the work of Biju, the dip in the great melting pot of modern art is easily recognizable: He shares with the international tradition “ready made” the break-up of the borders between the artwork and everyday life and taste by using ordinary objects, antiartísticos, but it becomes your inside out by the transformation that promotes from a process that reveres the craftsmanship and the well-to-do; He also reiventa the neo-impressionista Impressionist painting with aluminum works in which both the color as the design are formed can cut. Brazilian art embraces the traditions of Volpi and Palatinik”, analyzes.
Ranging from flag to Flag, the art of Biju, by the materials used and the themes, binds at the same time to discussions about environmental sustainability, multiculturalism and the constancy of the brazilian popular culture traditions in the context of contemporary art.
