Biography

Quim Alcantara (Sao Paulo SP, Brazil – 1981) paints current issues like the global warming to make people think about it, but without forgetting the beauty of art so that the people can enjoy the paintings. Quim studied visual arts, design, marketing and art history. Quim developed his own abstract style along the time. He have a solid experience in art painting, having worked at Art Ateliers along 05 years and painted freelance in murals for great clients like America Restaurants, CasaGrande Hotel Guaruja (Colonial Cafe, Thai and Atlantico Signature Restaurants) and the Brazilian luxury store Daslu, among others besides Trompe L’Oeil paintings and editions of Casa Cor decor show. He paints on raw fabrics choosen, stretched and treated by himself; working only with water based products. Quim's artworks are focused on contemporary politic-environmental facts like the earthquakes at Haiti and Chile, Amazon deforestation and Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The actual phase highlights the influences of cubism, post-impressionism and modernism. Quim Alcantara lives and works at Sao Paulo, Brazil.
