The Paper Sculptures of Carlos Meira

“Born in Rio de Janeiro, Carlos Meira’s artistic endeavour began when he joined the printmaking course at the School of Fine Arts at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

In early 1990, Carlos moved to Portugal where he developed his unique style of paper sculpture. He returned to Brazil in 1996 and settled in Florianopolis where he further strengthened his illustration side. He has held six solo exhibitions and illustrated several books since then.

Carlos Meira has now devoted himself to illustration and paper sculpture having worked as an artist, designer and art director within the advertising industry. He also runs his blog where you can catch-up on his latest work.” – Source

“Andruchak is a painter and a professor of art. He works with figurative and abstract themes using a neo-cubism form to his colorful style called ‘Geometricism’. Involved in painting panels with large sizes, he uses art as an ideological tool to promote the achievement of cultural growth where he is working. The Brazilian artist and painter Marcos Andruchak creates magnificent sensitively rendered works in an unusual approach to geometricism which he customizes for each work. Unconventional perspectives, the accurate application of paints, a multicolored border and the deletion of orienting details are characteristic of his style. This method creates a tension between what is seen and unseen, forcing the audience to extrapolate the message and participate in the act of creation. His works deal with a variety of modern approaches including visions that display a remarkable wealth of talent for rendering the natural world by a geometrical view. “

“My art has been with me my whole life. I express myself through my art by painting from the heart. I create my own worlds, my own perspective. I want the viewers to come away seeing this world in a magical way.”  - Marcos Andruchak
