Paulo Di Santoro

Art is my lifelong passion—a constant quest to give form to everything my gaze captures. I am deeply inspired by the human figure, particularly the female form, as well as the gestures, expressions, and everyday moments that define our lives. For me, a single moment, a specific light, or a vibrant color are the essential elements that spark my creative process. I explore, mix, and transform materials—ranging from paper and fabrics to graphite, oil, and watercolor—to preserve a fleeting instant in time.

My technical foundation was built on years of rigorous study. After graduating from the Faculty of Fine Arts of São Paulo, I entered the advertising industry as an illustrator. This professional environment allowed me to turn abstract ideas into reality and collaborate with diverse experts, incorporating a wide array of techniques into my own repertoire.

A pivotal moment in my career was the deep study of human anatomy. This mastery granted me the creative freedom to depict the human figure in various positions and contexts with grace and naturalness, refining the figurative look into something more sophisticated.

Always evolving, I incorporate new technologies and tools that enhance the outcome of my work without losing its soul....

Graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of São Paulo.
