My name is Augusto, and I am an art director, graphic designer, and photographer driven by empathy.
I’ve had the chance to work across different industries as an art director, graphic designer, and photographer, and while I’ve honed my skills in the more “commercial” settings, I’ve started to explore the significance of art and beauty as contemplation and inspiration, beyond just the aesthetic sense.
I’m hoping to participate in the Christianity & the Arts Program at King’s College in London to gain a deeper academic understanding of beauty, goodness, and truth, commonly known as the Transcendentals.
This program will give me an in-depth academic understanding of how Christian art has influenced cultural and philosophical concepts over centuries.
I am seeking support to help fund my participation in this program, and your support will help me learn and grow so I can inspire others to appreciate the wonder of art and its capacity to evoke awe and introspection in the richness and mundane seasons of life, regardless of religious beliefs.
I’m fully committed to this journey and believe it will have a big impact, and your help means the world to me. I’d appreciate anything you can offer support for.
PROOF OF WORK
the Ancient Future
The Ancient Future is an intuitive and personal design practice that honors the past while moving forward, embracing the tension between history and relevancy.
Across varied styles and mediums, the work produced by this practice is a result of the dedication to serving the Body of Christ. This work showcases a personal trajectory by demonstrating how art, graphic design, and faith can not only coexist but also rely on each other.
I hope to carry and influence this mindset into the Church in its current state and prepare it for the Church that is to come.
I believe the Christianity & the Arts Masters Degree program at King’s College London will give me the tools to help guide the church how to get there.
