Sobre o Artista
Yuri dos Anjos (born 1992, Brazil) is a contemporary Indigenous Brazilian artist whose practice is deeply rooted in ancestry, territory, and spiritual consciousness. Of Tupi heritage, his work emerges from lived experience and cultural memory, transforming painting into a space of resistance, remembrance, and transcendence. He lives and works in Aldeia Pakowaty, located in Peruíbe, on the coast of São Paulo, where he has developed a visual language that bridges the visible and the invisible. Through oil on canvas, he constructs layered compositions marked by symbolic intensity, tactile depth, and atmospheric force. His paintings are not representations of identity — they are embodiments of it. Each work is a singular creation, never reproduced. The material presence of oil paint, the density of gesture, and the deliberate construction of space result in pieces that carry emotional weight, spiritual gravity, and presence. His compositions oscillate between silence and force, grounding and expansion, inviting the viewer into a contemplative encounter with memory and being. Yuri’s practice exists at the intersection of contemporary expression and ancestral continuity. By channeling Indigenous cosmology and personal narrative, he reclaims space within the global discourse of contemporary art while maintaining absolute integrity with his origin. Each artwork is signed and released as a unique piece, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
