DOUGLAS KNESSE

I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, "the wonderful city". I have always been involved with arts in general, but only started painting in the middle of my 18 years, almost a year ago. Since then, I dedicated myself more to my paintings, in which I try to transmit my emotions, feelings and things I see and learn every day. I like to work with acrylic, pens, spray, collages and things I find interesting to make good works. The anti art and the pop art movements have influenced me with the colours and ideas. In my small journey, I have already done my own exhibition. There I had the opportunity to show some of my paintings, my new style and a part of me. I have also painted a wall in a famous design event (Morar Mais 2014), and even other people's houses.Recently, I had also the opportunity to expose in Finland and in New York City. Art is life. When I'm far from it, life gets unexciting and spiritless for me. She teaches me, makes me confused but makes me feel alive.
