de Oliveira

Laureate 2023

Guilherme Ferreira de Oliveira was born in São Caetano do Sul, Brazil, in 1995. He lives and works in São Paulo. Ferreira holds a Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts from the School of Communications and Arts of the University of São Paulo, with an academic exchange program at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux, in France (2020).

He creates drawings, paintings and installations of graphite on paper, which evoke industrial and architectural elements such as building facades, ornaments and railings. Forms that mediate the interior and exterior spaces, like a "skin", which allows us to see what is on the surface and, on the contrary, seem to hide or prevent a complete vision of the inside.

He also questions the link between plastic work and fictional writing, and the points on which writing and photographic record of installations combine in a quasi-documentary approach.
