Henrique Oliveira
Henrique Oliveira - a São Paulo based artist – is on my current ‘Favorites’ list. His art work is a colorful tour de force that will cheer you up every time you see it. Forget about seasonal affective disorder – just immerse yourself in his bright world and everything will be alright.
One of the things I like the most about Henrique is that his work is very playful and even seems to have a life of its own – every angle holds a special surprise for you! Plus he uses salvaged wood from the streets of São Paulo to create these beautiful installations that look like artful flowing rivers – a total winning combo!
I really hope that soon his work will make it all the way to Vancouver so we can bathe in his talent - if not I’ll just have to plan a trip to Brazil, easy! Right?
For this weekend’s post I have included some of his wonderful paintings (along with some colour/palette inspiration) as well as some pictures of his fantastic installations. Don’t forget to visit Henrique Oliveira’s site to see his extensive collection – just be careful, it’s addictive. Henrique, all I can say about your art is: que coisa mais linda!
OH! One last thing, remember to enter the Artful Giveaway! Today’s the last day so go get’er done.
Happy weekend desperados!

I know, I should’ve added a disclaimer – “please be mindful, Henrique’s art is fucking good and you might trip out” haha. Happy weekend Cari!
whoa, coolest thing i’ve seen in a while! i would LOVE to see these in person… or like… live in them even.
haha yeah, living in them would be pretty amazing, waking up inside an art piece – doesn’t get any better, right?
