Rafael Silveira

He was born and lives in Curitiba, Paraná. He was educated in the world of graphic arts and from this universe maintains a permanent research of imaginaries that can offer elements for his symbolic constructions. Using oil painting, an omnipresent technique in his work, Silveira strings together narratives that mix themes that are sometimes disparate, such as botany, tattoos, advertising clichés from the 1950s or 19th-century fashion catalogues. His canvases-objects with sculpted frames exemplify the simultaneously surreal and pop atmosphere that surrounds his work.
