Minas Gerais, 1966
Paulo draws on a daily basis and his art is entirely linked to his own process of discovery and inquiry, which is, sometimes, obsessive. His work doesn’t reveal itself simply. It contains carefully articulated images that talk about isolation, incommunicability and an interior life.
His self portraits and “crypto-portraits”, as defined by curator Mauro Trindade, showcase his characters in a non-linear narrative, within timeless and restless universes.
