ABOUT

zeca


Born in 1982 in the favelas of Brazil and raised in an artistic family of photographers, musicians, and journalists, I discovered my love for drawing at an early age. Moving to Western Europe at 26 was a shock, as I felt the climate, culture, and mentality drained much of my creative energy. However, this was revived by changing how I express myself artistically, eventually filling the gap left behind in Brazil. This shift helped me stay on the path of finding the positive side of life in every situation. Through my paintings, I aim to show that all emotions and people can be beautiful and energizing when placed in the right tone and context.

I constantly seek the best combinations of colors and tones to match each portrait, making every painting unique in terms of its color palette. I have found that working with acrylics and large canvases provides the contrast and emotional intensity I hope to convey to my audience.
