Vinicio Horta

Vinicio Horta is a Brazilian artist who has lived in London for over fifty years, while frequently returning to Rio de Janeiro to pursue his creative work. His exceptional technical skill and refined sensitivity infuse each piece with a profound humanity, even when exploring conflict and contradiction. Like a poet, he conjures unsettling yet beautiful visions of the human condition, where aggression meets tenderness.

His work becomes an ode to draftsmanship, balancing themes of good and evil, beauty and imperfection. Few artists possess Vinicio’s ability to translate such emotional depth into pure, lyrical form. His mastery of colour and composition brings harmony and intensity together, transforming each work into a contemplative reflection on life. Though seemingly detached from the noise of modernity, his art remains deeply rooted in lived experience and worldly insight.
