Biography

From an early age, connected to music, Paulo Ascenso joined the Symphonic Orchestra of Juncal at the age of four, where he received theoretical and practical musical training in wind instruments (Flute and Melodica).

Then his musical irreverence overcame the teacher's teachings, walking paths beyond those proposed. A fact that led him to temporarily retire until he was 16, where he resumed a path of self-education, putting aside most of the knowledge acquired, in an attempt to 'discover new paths and new unexplored sonorities'.

Practice / technique he still use in these days.

A kind of rediscovery every day, every moment, where he try not to repeat himself, but create something that stands out from the existing forms.

It is this technique that tries to convey to the new forms of expression, be it at the level of design, video creation or composition of pictures, where it tries to maintain 'a controlled chaos, that does not spread in any repetitive stereotype'.

At the design level he initially developed all presentations in paper format; Event posters, Merchandising, Zines, K7 / CD's artwork, with the interest being maintained and developed alongside the new technologies, now developed mostly in vectorial support, but without neglecting remote techniques that still apply today.

'Update and learn new guidelines' are the watchwords.
