Jorge’s work is shaped by ritual traditions, mythological systems, and belief structures across cultures. He studies how communities assign meaning to objects, symbols and natural forms and how these meanings can shift, travel or be reclaimed.
New Prophets
For REVUSD, Jorge translated his visual language into embroidery, bead by bead, symbol by symbol.
The collaboration, titled New Prophets, consists of three hand-embroidered pieces honouring non-human species and the material they’re created with. Inspired by The Commentary on the Apocalypse (an 8th-century Spanish manuscript blending Romanesque, Islamic and Byzantine influences), Jorge reimagines its iconography to tell an ecological and spiritual story for today.
Objects That Remember
His embroidery process is slow and devotional, layering hundreds of beads and sequins until the surface becomes talismanic: shimmering, protective, alive. Each piece is meant to feel like an object that remembers: a fragment of a story older than the person who holds it.
hand-blown in Venice
Each piece is built through slow, meticulous beadwork — including glass beads and bag charms the artist hand-blown in Venice. Layer by layer, the compositions honour non-human species and elevate leather into symbolic, talismanic forms.
