Marcelo Sacoda

I´m a Brazilian contemporary artist. My work blends figurative modernism, symbolic storytelling, and Latin American visual traditions.

Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, I create textured paintings that explore memory, family narratives, inherited symbols, and emotional displacement through simplified forms and bold color structures.

Influenced by Brazilian modernism, my paintings combine accessible imagery with suspended meanings, where everyday scenes become emotional symbols rather than illustrations.

My work often portrays children, domestic spaces, soccer fields, beaches, and anonymous figures, transforming personal memories into universal emotional experiences.

Rather than explaining reality, I try to create pauses within it.
