DIOGO NAVARRO

Diogo Navarro de Castro (Portuguese, b.1973) is a multidisciplinary artist, best known for his interest in the pictorial potential of different materials explored through painting. His works on canvas or wood consist of an assemblage of materials in which light is in focal point. Clusters of paint explode like flashes, metal and glass reflect the external light, which become a key component of the painting.

Born in Mozambique, he studied Fine Art at the National Society of Fine Arts in Lisbon, Portugal. He has expanded his studies in finite engraving techniques, graphic design and virtual reality, in which this media is evident in his ongoing works.

In 2012 Navarro received the first prize of "Image of Russia" by the Russian Academy of Fine Arts in Moscow, Russia. In 2014 he won the painting category award at the International "Vera Art Festival" in Lisbon, Portugal. In 2015 he participated in the "International Year of Light" exhibition at Palazzo Loredan, in Venice, Italy; presenting a body of work influenced by the interaction between light and glass.

Diogo lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal.
