Amarante — A Personal Tribute to Souza-Cardoso
T
he inspiration for this guitar was Amarante Souza (Portuguese cubist) guitars and Cardoso self-portrait.
This guitar is a great piece, where bold, organic design meets luxurious detailing. The olive-green finish, featuring a distinct wood-grain texture, evokes a sense of rustic sophistication, while the gold bridge and matte black hardware provide a striking, modern contrast.
This guitar represents the perfect fusion of natural beauty and modern engineering, crafted for those who view music as both an auditory and visual art form.
I took this guitar to Tokyo Art Fair 2019.
