About the artist:

"Ipês, monuments and traffic signs typical of the city are part of the universe of the artist Rodrigo Nardotto, an artist known for the use of vibrant colors and themes related to the federal capital. Following the maxim of his friend, the poet Nicolas Behr, quoting Leon Tolstói : 'Whoever sings his village becomes universal'.



Artist since he was a boy, but as he says: “only an adult allowed the boy to be an artist", he started to paint after he abandoned the profession of Publicity and Propaganda in 2009.

He did not want to go back to university and decided to attend and receive classes in the studio of outstanding artists, such as Déia Francischetti, Lourenço de Bem (Atelier Bianchetti), Sheila Tapajós, Sonnia Guerra, and, currently, Leandro Giordano.

Europe:

Since the year 2018, art has become more special to him.

On a European tour, he held an artistic residency in the city of Padua, Italy, where he spent 52 days at “Casa di Spiritualitá”, the convent where Santo Antônio de Pádua lived in the last month of his life.

In addition to Italy, he spent another 80 days in Warsaw, at the invitation of the Polish government, to exhibit his series “Brasil Vangoghiano”, a series that, unpretentiously, would show how a passage from the incredible Dutchman through Brazilian lands would have been.

Because of this thematic bridge between Brazil and Europe, it aroused curiosity and repercussion in the media, including an interview on national television on the most popular Polish TV channel.

The artist's strength is color. 'That's what really interests me! I can bring shape through color. For me, the lines are secondary. The line and the drawing just mark me. The distortions I make are intentional, because my style is expressionism, that is, I express my emotions. I don't do anything rational ', describes the artist.

Mixing materials, the primary colors and discovering their tones, creates an atmosphere that transports the viewer to that reinterpreted reality. "

Thank you very much
