thought.

It encompasses all colors, sounds, and walks of life just as they are. Humanity is prone to forget the many ways in which people express their diversity and relate to one another. The planet thrives and coexists as a gamut of colors, races, and species in a symbiotic relationship where one does not survive without the other.

As a true mirror of the human experience, art is just as diverse. It has existed since the beginning of life – all of it. Even before humans inhabited the planet, plants and creatures already coexisted in their own symmetries and colors , laced with patterns and Fibonacci sequences that would long after influence humans and their relationship with the world. Chromatica reflects the diversity within our artists’ and places of origin. It reflects the universal language that has crossed oceans and countries to land in this collective exhibition in Miami for a new journey.

Brazilian artist Carlos Alves’ paintings employ ready-made objects, collage, and assemblage with references to industrialism. He presents a unique characteristic for an artist, lacking the “color-sensitive pigment in the cells of his retina, making him fully color blind”.

Nevertheless, his overwhelmingly colorful works tell a visually rich narrative through pigment, shape, form, and polished textures. For Carlos, the canvas serves as both a mask and a magnifying lens, allowing him to choose when to reveal important elements of himself and of his world.

As Carlos expresses: “When I paint, I am free from the limitations of everyday reality. Restrictions, boundaries, and rules disappear as my colors and sh

apes form images. At the same time, I also demand the highest level of perfection from myself when I utilize all types of materials to create my artwork.”

As of 2020, Carlos Alves has had over 100 exhibits throughout the U.S and abroad.

Christian Escobar, “Chrispapita” in the art world, is a self-taught artist from Guatemala, is passionate about various contemporary artistic movements. As a child, he showed great interest in drawing; from pencil drawings to acrylic on canvas, he developed his own technique and style. Hyperrealism and realism is what he’s best known for, inspired by the human figure and applying features of urban cultures and their relationship with nature and science. His artistic and life philosophy is the baroque ideal of Memento Mori, which means “Remember that you will die”, which motivates him to create works where the main theme is celebrating life, living in the present, learning from our past and future. He uses chiaroscuro as a tool to generate a correct dramatization in his themes, playing with the duality between light and darkness.

Brazilian artist born in 1944 in São Paulo, Brazil, who has worked since the 1960s to challenge the political and social culture of Brazil and the world. Through his art he has highlighted the censorship of military dictatorships, the woes of mass media, and the strength of individuals. He participated in the NeoFiguration movement, primarily about issues experienced by Brazilians. Brazil lived under an oppressive dictatorship for years and the NeoFiguration movement worked to question the physical and social conditions of the era. Tozzi’s work has since been shared worldwide as he has gained popularity outside Brazil due to widely understood themes. He is one of the most well known and influential artists in Brazil.

Graduated in multimedia production at Senac (2010), he attends open courses, study groups and artistic accompaniments, dedicating himself to visual arts and graphic projects in his studio.

Edu is interested in territorial tensions in social segregation and in identity issues that re-discuss miscegenation, with painting as the main production. From the experience of “being between” he produces works made up of unequally divided chromatic fields, where one color establishes itself as dominant while other colors occupy smaller spaces on the edges of the canvas.

For Eva Le Campion, the production process of a work is nothing more than painting life. “What I see, what I feel, what revolts me, what I cannot change, I paint life. Drawing is the only skill I have left to express the world around me”, says Le Campion. She suffered two influences in her career: her uncle, and the father of her children, Delson Uchoa. Through him, she started working with acrylic. Graduated in Letters from the Federal University of Alagoas (Ufal), Eva, in addition to acting in the field of arts, has always been supportive and fought for various social causes. In 2016, the artist received the 2015/2016 Camões Luso Brasileiro Award for her career spanning more than 30 years in the art world, for her social work and for the Moira exhibition, held at Pinacoteca Universitária, in December 2015.

are metaphors for strong and subconscious human emotions like anger, fear, dreams or desire. The colorful fantastic beasts which she connects with the “dark side” of her inner self stand for the artist’s cultural roots as well as the primary and powerful energy of her work in the streets all over the world. Fefe was brought up as a native half Mexican, half Brazilian in São Paulo where she lives until today. Interested in all kinds of “underground” movements, the unique stylistic freedom of the Street Art and Graffiti scene of her hometown made an important impression on her. Fefe’s raw creative energy thus found much more correspondence in the angled, tribal-like style she developed while working in the streets, than in her studies in fine arts which she finished with a Bachelor at the FAAP in São Paulo.

Painter, draftsman, engraver, architect, teacher.

Gilberto Orcioli Salvador graduated in architecture in 1969 from the College of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São PauloFAU/USP, where he later worked as a professor. Simultaneously, he devoted himself to painting and drawing. He held his first exhibition in 1965 at the Teatro de Arena Art Gallery in São Paulo. He was awarded a gold medal at the Salão de Arte Contemporânea, Campinas, in 1967, and, in the 1969 and 1970 editions, with the acquisition prize. Participated in several editions of the São Paulo International Biennial, and two exhibitions at Masp stand out among his solo shows, in 1985 and 1995. In 1999, the sculpture Vôo de Xangô was installed at the Jardim São Paulo Station of the Companhia do Metropolitano de São Paulo. His work is characterized by the opposition between gestural and rigid lines, organic and inorganic forms, movement and static. Living forms, men, flowers and animals mix with geometric figures.

“My style in painting is intersected by the investigation of the memories in my body, in which I question the temptations and intentions in a portrait of the intimate - a memory of records of looks, people and constructions of small shapes, which are filled in image. I like to think of my paintings as a possibility of working an emotional aspect of portraits, using the construction of small shapes to transform them into people who fill themselves in the image. I like to think of my paintings as a possibility to work with one’s emotions in the portrait, creating an image of the body while questioning itself and its spaces.

I think about the inversion of bodies and how their characteristics tread a poem that deals with an invisible path, as a search for traces that are not linked only to race, but also on deeper subjects. A desire to go through the vague, and at the same time habitable, a place where all bodies end up questioning themselves - identity - how much of your body is yours? Where has it become an idealization?” – Heloisa Hariadne

Jeane Terra researches the subjectivity of memory, the nuances of the transience of cities, and the debris of a time, such as urban erasure, the unbridled growth of cities and environmental issues. The artist’s work develops in painting, sculpture, photography, and video art.

In her works, Jeane uses rubble and the “paint skin”, a technique she developed from mixing acrylic paint and binder, which, made in thin layers, takes on the appearance of skin. The artist uses paint “skins” to produce her paintings, some using the cross-stitch technique, or cut and pasted directly onto the canvas. A kind of body - painting.

Just as, by using rubble from houses and buildings as an object of work and covering them with velvet skins, it generates new meanings to the body-house matter.

The artist has participated in individual and group exhibitions in Brazil and abroad.

Born in Kobe, Japan, in 1931, Kazuo Wakabayashi was already a trained artist when he immigrated to São Paulo in 1961. Wakabayashi quickly gained popularity in Brazil, Japan, and the United States. Four years after his arrival in Brazil, he participated in a group exhibition of Japanese-Brazilian artists at the Organization of American States, where he also held his first US solo show in 1969.

In the 1940s and 1950s, while still in Japan, Wakabayashi experimented with figure studies, landscapes, and portraits of the female body. His later work can be divided into two periods. The first can be categorized as “informalist”, while also adhering to geometric principles; marked by thick, textured surfaces and abstract, monochromatic forms. In his second and latest period, beginning in the 1980s, he returned overtly to Japanese tradition, translating characteristics of traditional woodcuts, and specifically Ukiyo-e prints into three-dimensional, large-scale paintings and prints.

Luiz Escañuela graduated in visual communications, has a bachelor’s degree in graphic design from Centro Universitário de São Paulo, where he attended two years of visual arts. He has been drawing and painting since childhood, and started his professional career at the age of 22, working mainly with painting. He has already had two solo exhibitions, the most recent, entitled “Don’t Forget What is Epic” (2022) and “DISRUPTO” (2021). He participated in several collective exhibitions, international fairs, and gave a workshop in Germany. In 2020 he was elected by Forbes magazine as one of the influential personalities in the arts under 30 years old. He developed a particular method within hyper-realism. In more recent works, exemplified by “Don’t Forget What Is Epic”, he fuses detailed painting with new gestural experiments. The large-scale work reference research of cinema, the Brazilian baroque, creation myths, and the iconoclasm of philosophy, proposing hyper-links between the images and provoking poetic speculation in the spectator.

A blue Indian is the trademark of artist Cranio from Sao Paulo, representing the indigenous people from Brazil. His mediums are acrylic on canvas and spray paint on walls, but he also enjoys creating variations by mixing the two. Cranio, which translates to ‘skull’ in Portuguese, is the pseudonym of Fabio de Oliveira Parnaiba who was born in 1982 and grew up in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In 1998 he began spray painting the walls of his hometown. With inspirations deriving from life, cartoons and legendary artist Salvador Dali; his illustrious ‘moniker’ of sorts, is a native indigenous person of Brazil, painted in blue. Developed out of a representation for the indigenous peoples who have populated his native country, Cranio cites that the Indians find themselves in funny and curious situations, prompting thoughts of more contemporary issues such as consumerism, corruption and the environment.

In 2018, the two met when Rodolpho ordered a custom Toy Art from Playmobil from Roberts. And from there, a great friendship and enormous synergy made them think of creating something together. In 2020 they set up R2 Studio, an unpretentious, cool art studio full of childhood references from the 80s. At R2, you can find ToyArt, emblematic phrases, mirrors, neon, but the duo’s DNA is focused in Upcycling, a worldwide movement of creative reuse, where pieces and objects from the past are completely transformed by their unconventional interventions. That is why at R² many works are impossible to be replicated or transformed into a series.

Based in SP, R2 has already spread its works to clients all over the world and Brazil, and has already exhibited their work “Put your Ego in a Box” in Miami and NY, and “Set me Free” which will now be exhibited in Venice.

Rosa Ferrari lives and works in Nova Lima - MG. Her degree in Architecture and Urbanism puts her in contact with the visual arts and the enchantment for the natural riches of Minas Gerais brings baggage to her creative process. In experiments and research with raw materials and pigments found in nature, the artist creates sculptures, objects, photographs, installations and constructs conceptual art.

Currently, she has been researching biomes and their riches, covering mainly the diversity of the Brazilian flora, and the various possibilities of human connection with nature. All based on the “sensory organization” that is specific to each society.

“Sandy Searcy is a contemporary illustrator, abstract, digital artist, and photographer. Her works integrate photography and digital painting to produce lively compositions that convey her worldview. Closely examining Searcy’s artworks reveals that her art is inspired by two of the most famous 20th Century movements - abstract expressionism and pop art. Like Jason Pollock’s abstract expressionism artworks, Searcy’s digital paintings feature colorful and highly expressive line work, combining bold and thin lines to convey the artist’s imagination. Pop art influence is also visible in featuring human subjects. In these, the artist posterizes her subjects to facilitate the addition of colorful overlays. The result is highly elaborate compositions that convey the subjects being animated.”

In her work, Verônica discusses aesthetics through fields of color produced by line and by the fabric. With vast knowledge from manual embroidery to machine sewing mechanical and electronic, focusing on the transformation of fibers. Rich details show her obsession with the technique that results in tactile paintings. Experimentation is also central in her repertoire, from engraving and ink in the final works, even combinations with design pieces such as clothing, furniture, and objects. The mix of art fields reverberates the idea of the transformation that the artist seeks in her process. Currently, she has works in national and international private collections, as well as works in national institutions.

Voodo Fé lives an art life. An “art life” is one that has, at its center, art. In this life, art is not strictly or exclusively visual, audible, and tangible creations using materials. Art, like Voodo’s life, is extremely fluid. It has many definitions. It is ever changing. It has no boundaries. Voodo’s art life is the epitome of fluidity, it is inherent in his work, and everything begins with his mantra: Different. Defiant. Free.

The most powerful of the mantra’s elements – Free – began with his and is rooted in his name, Voodo Fé. It honors his mother’s name –Feronié – and is a hat tip to his Haitian heritage.

Yuli Geszti was born in 1953 and grew up during the 1970s and was influenced by the artistic atmosphere of the time. Conceptualism is often perceived as a response to Minimalism, and the leading art movement of the 1970s, challenging the boundaries of art with its revolutionary features. About the concepts of her work, she says, “my work is motivated by a challenge: to create the illusion of three-dimensional volumes on the flat surface of the canvas using only brushes and ink. These volumes are configurations of unusual objects arising from a planar support.” Sem Titulo |
