O BASTARDO

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, 1997

Lives and works between Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Paris, France

Working initially using urban languages such as graffiti, the artist elaborates a direct dialogue between autobiographical issues and pictorial thought, a conquest developed between family experiences and art schools. The themes brought in their works direct us to the crossing between everyday practices of empowerment of black people and usual gestures of belonging to social groups, such as asking for blessing or bleaching hair. In the portrait scenes consumerism, leisure and vanity are some of the identifications exhibited by groups that are supposedly absent from this type of representation.
