Caretos Sculpture

Born in Lisbon on 29 October 1947. He lives and works in São João de Caparica, an engineer, full time artist.   Movement: Postmodern Art Vieira increasingly works his own painting as a means to exploit, because the images that appear They can capture the "truth." Other common themes in his work are the elements of chance, the game between realism and abstraction. Working alongside but never fully embracing a rapid succession of movements of the art Late twentieth century, as abstract expressionism, American pop / British art, minimalism and conceptualism, Vieira has absorbed many their ideas, remaining skeptical all the great artistic and philosophical beliefs. The artistic production Vieira can be inserted into two categories: - Figuratively, works in acrylic resins (pagan masks); - Abstracta, almost all the work done since 2006 on aluminum (dibond) / Plexiglass. The variety in their work does not indicate a lack of interest in reality but a great confidence to present different models to convey that. SandStorm is an example of how often alternating Vieira between realistic and abstract styles in various work series, even on a single screen.
