manifesto

I believe art heals.
Presence transforms.
And curiosity is the first step to freedom.

For years, I held onto patterns that once made me feel safe.
They weren’t the best choices, but they got me through.
Until I realised—they were holding me back.

Life – wise as it is – pushed me forward.
A "no" that hurt.
A silence that made me listen.
A journey that started before I even knew I was on it.

I questioned. I explored. I unlearned.
Through therapy, hypnosis, and deep spiritual work,
I started rewriting the story I had been living on repeat.
Healing wasn’t a single moment.
It’s still happening, every day.

Collage became my medicine.
Each piece, a part of my story.
Each creation, a way to be present.

Now, I share my journey so others can explore their own.
Through immersive experiences, workshops, and retreats,
I create spaces where art, body, and spirit come together.
Because healing isn’t a destination.
It’s a practice.
A process.
A creation.

And you? How are you creating your own healing?

Fabio Borges is a visual artist, educator, and holistic therapist based in Sydney, Australia. His sensitive and original collage work (both analogue and digital) explores the deep connection between body, soul, and creative expression.

Founder of the Art2Heal project, Fabio has been facilitating collage workshops for over five years, helping people access their inner narratives and emotions through art. His sessions combine guided meditation, conscious breathing,
and reflective practices, creating a safe space for self-awareness and emotional healing.

With formal training in Healing with the Arts (University of Florida) and Positive Psychiatry and Mental Health (University of Sydney), and a solid background in marketing and communication, Fabio weaves his knowledge of branding
and storytelling into the symbolic universe of collage building bridges between aesthetics, spirituality, and purpose. 

His artwork has been exhibited in galleries and international art fairs in cities such as New York, London, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Madrid, Miami, São Paulo, and Sydney. 

A Brazilian by birth and a citizen of the world, Fabio's mission is to inspire people to reconnect with their bodies, creativity, and inner strength. Through his art and immersive experiences, he encourages others to explore their often-neglected inner worlds with courage, curiosity, and compassion.
