Bio/Statement:
Adriel Visoto creates small-scale figurative paintings and drawings, developing narratives that shift between intimate records and self-fiction. His personal and emotional images are surrounded by a saturated and monochromatic atmosphere, built from his private photographic archive and marked by the recurring use of limited palettes, glazes, and delicate brushstrokes. His work reveals fragments of private experience, where the pictorial gesture serves as an inscription and materialization of memory.
Adriel Visoto’s solo exhibitions include Dancing with Ghosts, Fabienne Levy Gallery, Switzerland (2025), and Estranho Comum, Verve Galeria, São Paulo, Brazil (2023).
