Mauro Ventura (b. 1993, Vila Nova de Famalicão) is a Portuguese interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, installation, performance, music and visual culture. Also known in music as DJ Saliva, Ventura works between Berlin’s queer underground and Porto. Their visual work often uses collage, occult references, ritual and recurring demonic motifs to examine dualities such as visible and invisible, light and darkness, presence and absence.
