“Although I have begun to produce the first drawings at a very young age, the audacity and boldness behind the use of strong colors are always a unmistakable characteristic of my work I built my artistic career between unique Brasilia’s architecture, the city where my painting boomed . The color always had a pivotal role in my endeavors, revealing itself only after a surgical incision on the canvas with the dry tip, or in its full potential, as a kaleidoscope, the moment when I edify shapes . In reality, it is a travel map, informally drawn and painted, a logbook, which, described with a visual that keep myself faithful to the style that I have created and developed”.

Born in Fortaleza, Tarciso Viriato moved to Brasilia in a young age and the city’s modern architecture became an inspiration. In his art, he combines avant -garde elements with graffiti painting, while using vibrant colors and bold patterns as a visual expression of hope, dreams and happiness. The artistic maturity of Tarciso Viriato presents us an undecidable challenge. By the hand of exquisite graphics, shared with spontaneous and extremely colorful planes, his art delights the soul of those who observe its creation. It leaves us stunned, afflicted and distressed by the density of its contents. His art comes to renew and establish new parameters for contemporary painting, rescuing spontaneity, and the pleasure of painting. Tarciso challenge us to see beyond the colors and the paintings leads us to a peculiar adventure.
