Runaldo Ferre

I’m Runaldo Ferre, a Brazilian-Italian visual artist and designer currently based in Hampshire, UK. My paintings explore the space between abstraction and the figurative, where gesture, colour and texture become expressions of movement and emotion.

Rhythm, spatial harmony, disrupted structures, symbols from ancient mythology, and elements of unintentional chaos emerge from mental abstraction - touching collective memories and hidden universes. Images appear as a team of nonsensical shadows and figures, each earning its place within the vastness of the canvas.

Having lived and worked across Brazil, Africa, the Middle East and Europe, I seek to merge cultural contrasts, subconscious imagery and timeless archetypes into unified visual narratives.

With a background in architecture and interior design, I’m drawn to the dialogue between structure and spontaneity -qualities that also shape my black-and-white street photography, reflecting my fascination with human presence and the poetic energy of cities.
