Evandro Soares is an artist guided by intuitive knowledge that is made by experience in the construction of space and the elaboration of form. Of Afro-Brazilian origin, coming from the simple layer of the Brazilian population to whom the access to academic knowledge is denied, he had to work very early to earn a living, and while still young he became a dedicated locksmith craftsman. It was this professional experience that provided the structure, technique, and poetics of his work.
He has held numerous national and international exhibitions. Among them: 2019; FICTION AND FABRICATION Architecture Photography “After The Industrial Revolution” (Após A Revolução Industrial) .MAAT__Museu Arte Arquitetura Tecnologia.
