Emanuel De Sousa
Born in Madeira archipelago, Portugal, in 1977, Emanuel De Sousa graduated from Fine Arts/Painting degree from the university of Porto, Portugal, in 2005. Emanuel exhibited for the first time with Jorge Shirley gallery, in the same year, 2005, starting a professional career that has been expanding over these last 20 years between Europe and the United States, represented in private and public collections with regular solo and group shows.
Being a figurative artist, the main focus has been on creating narratives using the human body as the main messaging vehicle, leaning towards the Dada proclivities over these last few years, playing with the absurd and uncanny, with no rules, no boundaries or limits, looking for an honest dialogue between the painting and the observer, with the hopes of transforming the observer into a participant in the narrative, making it therefore, their own.
