Short artist bio
Fauze Hassen is a visual artist, poet and filmmaker from São Paulo, Brazil. His work is deeply influenced by his life in this vibrant city, where the urban environment and his multicultural childhood have significantly shaped his artistic perspective. Fauze began writing poetry in 2008, and his first collection, Yellow Street Light Madness, was published in 2018. Based in Auckland since 2011, he is continually refining his visual repertoire, exploring the myriad possibilities that painting, poetry, and film offer to convey his ideas.
