What is Como Demo?

Founded by artist and creative Luciana Pérez, COMO DEMO is an evolving art practice creating spaces for presence, creativity, and human connection through immersive experiences, sculptural works, site-specific installations, and intentional gatherings. Rooted in the belief that art can deepen the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us, each project invites people to slow down, create with intention, and reconnect through making.

Origins: Circle Archive

Every gathering leaves a trace. This is a collection of the experiences that continue to shape COMO DEMO.

Personal Practice: Komorebi Painting

On a summer day, the circle became a living, open-air studio, fluid and responsive to the elements, reflecting the energy and connection at the heart of Como Demo. Each brushstroke, each traced shadow or wind pattern, becomes part of an ongoing spiral of awareness and transformation. Every piece made is one-of-a-kind. I love working large and intuitively, and the circle offered the ideal space to move freely, paint openly, and follow feeling rather than form.
