“The true painting does not reveal the art, even less something aesthetic, its a way to be”
Shí Tāo 石涛 (Chinese poet and painter, 1642-1707)
About the artist
It’s a pleasure to meet you, my name is Matheus Almeida. I’m a self-taught Brazilian artist in love with chinese culture and philosophy. I’m inspired by a technique called Xiěyì 写意 known as handsfree art.
According to traditional chinese painting, this technique is characterized by vivid expression of the moment, paired with an abstraction of details.
I work on 100% linen, cotton or bamboo paper and ceramic porcelain.
