His work is subtle and utilizes infinite types of support: photography, drawings, poetry, music, video, installations, interventions, performance. He navigates easily between the formal and informal creating constant bridges between modernism and contemporary art. He examines the urban quotidian of Brazil, its reflections, transparences and refractions where bodies get melted. His works frequently resort to oppositions and 'tension among equals'. The spaces he creates demand daily maintainance, bringing his work into the threshold of performance. With his eyes turned towards the quotidian and the geographies of the 'common man'. He is a graduate in Plastic Arts by Dulcina de Moraes Arts Faculty of Brasília, where he presently teaches. His major photographic series, exhibited in Brazil and abroad, include: Beleza Roubada (Stolen Beauty, 2004); Brasília Poema Concreto (Brasília Concrete Poem, 2001); Congada (2005); Cordao de Ouro Capoeira (2004); Deformacao por Reflexao (Deformation by Reflection, 2005); DeLeite (Delight, 2002); Expulsante x Espulsarte (Ex-pulsing x Expuls-art, 2005); Reflexao Fusao a Frio (Reflection Cold Fusion, 2005). The Sambadas Photo Exhibition the artist's first exhibition in India. It is about human rhythms and includes collages of various sizes depicting the human spatial geography of dream-like situations in Brazil and in India which are pregnant with identity-conveying symbols. ---------------------------------------------------------- To announce upcoming Goa-related events here, send your email to goanetnewsbytes at vsnl.net ----------------------------------------------------------
