J. Vasconcellos is one of the most important Brazilian painter. Today he lives in Europe and has several exhibitions every year in various corners of the world. International art critics have described Vasconcellos’ art as part of the Fantastical Realism and the Modern Symbolism. His colors and his exceptional technique have given Vasconcellos a respected and admired name. He is known for his unique use of the spatula and choice of pigments and vegetal resine.
His universe of symbols result from his dreams and from the memories of his childhood – but also very much from the current dreams of the artist today.
Vasconcellos’ work hangs in many art galleries in the world, in contemporary Art Fairs and Museums, and in the private homes of collectors and fans. He received various awards, including the Queen Indrid from Denmark, the Jyllands Post Kunst Legat and the Gold Medal of the Bienale of Brasilia
