About the Artist
Rafael Silveira
Brazilian, b. 1978
Brazilian, b. 1978
Rafael Silveira was born in the city of Curitiba, where he lives and works. He started out in graphic design and illustration before turning to dedicate himself fully to the visual arts, from 2006 onward.

Oil paintings, carved frames and three-dimensional objects form part of his unique, elaborate body of work as do, on occasion, both music and performance.
