SMiLO - Original Canvas 2018 Painting

Since I know myself, I draw, paint, scrawl. My universe has always been artistic, the way I think, feel, speak, always comes in the form of art, that's why I express myself that way. I moved to São Paulo (capital) at a young age and then my "voltage" increased, changing my projection as an artist and increasing the visibility of my works. I have also worked as an art director and animator (motion graphics) for advertising agencies and TV channels such MTV. Between 2016 - 2017 I start two social aid projects. Cora who helps children with heart diseases  and Smilo who helps fight prejudice. I created several arts focused on these two projects, and a large part of the sale of the pieces goes directly to help these causes. They are still small projects, but they are growing quickly and already have helped many people who needed them. My work explores a variety of subjects involving Humanism and Spiritism. I uses materials such as acrylic ink, charcoal pencil, spray paint, oil sticks, among manny other materials and of course digital. For me, art has no rule or specific medium, that's why I express myself in every way that makes me want, be it physical or digital, from a wall, to a canvas, to a "software". I always surfed on all available platforms, and I like it that way, I don't feel well defining a single way of expressing myself, I need to browse all of them. Nowadays I have countless works of fine art and digital. I live part of the year in Brazil (São Paulo) and another part in the USA (New York / Miami and Los Angeles), I usually stay in the US when I’m invited to exhibit my works or when there is an event that interests me. Some examples of events that I exhibited my works: d | a | c • Design art concepts - Miami - 2019 The Direct art Modern - (Online exhibition) by ARTSY - 2018 Conception Arts - 2017 Alchemic Body - Bogotá - 2017 Conception Arts - Los Angeles - 2017 Agora Gallery - New York - 2017 Levy Palace - São Paulo - 2004 I like to absorb and trip in a wide range of historical sources of art, but I have my own particular stile. And I always seek with my paintings to achieve something new which can revolutionise the art world. Most of the time it comes naturally to me, but sometimes I intentionally create something that provokes and touches people. People's reaction to my art is what makes me feel alive and also what makes me want to do more art. I’m intense, I use art to live, to be happy, to help, to regret, I breathe art.
