The idea comes first.Then I choose the medium that says it best.

I’m a Brazilian artist, best known for my paintings. Oil, a camera, an iPad, even code: I use whatever the idea asks for.

What I’m working on.

Hi, I’m Fer

I’ve loved art since my first set of crayons, and got in trouble more than once for drawing on the walls. For as long as I can remember, making art has been as essential to me as breathing. Even in the years when life left very little room for it, I found a way: on scraps of wood, on other people’s walls, on a screen.

Along the way I studied at the Art Students League of New York, spent four years as resident artist at a Buddhist temple, co-owned a gallery, and founded a collective of painters in the metaverse. Many of my projects support causes I believe in, like equality and environmental sustainability. I use my art as a voice for the greater good.

Today I’m back in Brazil, building a studio in Itupeva and going back to canvas.

Along the way

A few moments.
