RODRIGO BARRALES

Barrales_3.jpeg

Rodrigo Barrales, born in 1978 in São Paulo, dropped out of an architecture bachelor's degree in 1998 to become an autodidact visual artist.

 

Because of his parents' influence, his father was a spanish engineer, and his mother was a brazilian amateur painter, his first artworks dialogue with great iberic artists, connected with cubism, surrealism, and everything that permeates spanish art.

 

In the beginning of the 2000s, he started research works and did courses with Paulo Monteiro and Laura Vinci, leading him to create further intimacy with contemporary art: the use of paint, various media possibilities, and the freedom of creation, all that are determinant factors to the artist’s new conception.

 

At the same time, Barrales becomes friends with other young students, creating an art group, working out debates and artworks for shows in empty houses around the city of São Paulo, besides integrating buildings and historic churches restoration teams, leading him to paint murals and churches.

In 2019, he moves to Granada, Spain, a moment in which he reconnects with his origins, which naturally reflected in his new production. Back in Brazil, he starts two new bachelor courses, sociology and psychoanalysis, studies that allow the artist to gain a new point of view of art concepts, imprinting these themes in his artworks.
