About the
artist.

— Who I am

I am Pedro. And also Henrique.

A compound name that defines a person who admires details, appreciates colors and flavors, who loves reading and life.

I'm not good with words — that's why I paint. I believe colors and strokes say what cannot be written or spoken. Each canvas is a way to reach where language can't.

I work from Goiânia, Brazil, with acrylic paint and metallic pigments, moving between abstract and figurative. I look for, in gesture and color, the balance between intention and chance.

— Process

Where the paint is
still wet.

Palette knife, brush, acrylic and metallic pigment. The studio is where color meets gesture — and chance meets intention.

Each layer waits for the previous one to dry before receiving the next move. Some series are born from a single sunset; others take months to mature. The result is always a conversation between what I want and what the canvas allows.
