Visual artist with a master’s degree in psychology, Thiago Martins de Melo works with painting, sculpture, installation, and animation. His visual language combines different media in visually dense compositions, with an emphasis on the materiality of painting. Using painting as a starting point his canvases or objects—usually of large dimensions—narrate battles, syncretic rites, and epiphanies, approaching the genre of historical painting and collage. Moving between expressionist and realist techniques, his works incorporate volume, combat objects, mass circulation products, and moving images.
