About jr

I am a self taught artist with a passion for self expression in the sculpting of paint. A native of Recife (The Venice of Brazil). My work reflects those cultural roots. I came to the United States to live and develop my art in 2000. It is here in Atlanta that I wish to pursue my dream of working as a full time visual artist. My work is vibrant, expressive and passionate. Although abstract in nature, the structure and composition reflects the disparate forces of today’s world. I seek to express transitions in my own life, with the hope of reflecting our times in an enduring and universal manner in which others may share. My work is filled with texture, vibrant color and accents of metallic light. It is a compilation of color, light and texture that permits and encourages reflection and flights of imagination. I sincerely hope you enjoy the experience of my art as much as I enjoy the process of creation.
