Artist Statement:
Manoel Costa was born on the
state of Pará, Brazil. The son
of a canoeing. In his
childhood he lived in the
forests, watching the
landscape and also jungle's
many dangers.
Then one day, he heard a sweet
music of the world around him,
and after that the passion of
registering forms and colors
stroke like a thunder. This is
how painting and art entered
his life: to capture not only
the beauty around him, but the
magnetism of the landscape.
His self made effort overcame
his cultural environment
limitations. He was awarded a
scholarship on the Fine Art
School of Rio de Janeiro.
Finally, Manoel Costa was
really able to express his
vocation. Not even a
victorious passage in
publicity was able to apart
him from art. During his life,
he sees his painting as a
ongoing search for his own
truth, exploring many
different languages such as
abstract, a sort of
expressionism that liberates
objective and real references
and promotes a different style
of drawing with and a color
freedom....

Artist Reviews:
The suggestive power of Manoel
Costa's painting enchanted me,
its realism touched at the
same time by poetry with a
message of beauty, transmitted
by the sensitivity and
delicateness of its colors.
This is how an artist
communicates through the
spirit and perpetuates images
and ideas, gives life to ...
