Marco Ferreira Biography

Sao Paulo, Brazil, 1956

An established Brazilian graphic artist and painter, Marco Ferreira is self trained. His pieces explore the technical and philosophical limits of the traditional mediums of painting and printmaking in a contemporary context.

Ferreira's work has its origins in the Andean environment, one given to empty, wide, economical and minimal spaces, and to the abstract, hand rendered linear textile tradition.

His paintings and prints have been exhibited in Spain, France, Brazil, Holland, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia, where he now lives.
