“Rian Fontenele’s production is dedicated to a search that is sometimes unknown. The path of this search is a discontinuous process through painting, woodcuts, pyrography, embroidery and poetry that highlights the artist’s restlessness,” says Bianca Dias.

His work is marked by austerity, the sobriety of elements and the presence of dramatized characters, who seem to revere silence and memory.

“Painting arises from the visceral need to capture all the absence anchored in me, from all the constant exile that surrounds me, in this way it is born in me as consciousness - whatever that means - as the only way to make myself viable. .” Reveals the painter, engraver and designer Rian Fontenele who also ventures into literature.
