Claudio Ethos 
(Brazilian, b.1982, lives in Sao Paolo)

Claudio Ethos is a young Brazilian artist currently living and working in São Paulo. His mesmerizing works on canvas, paper and wall all demonstrate a wonderful fluidity of motion, while the line work of his characters is marvelously even and meticulous, creating a fantastic realism – “a prism through which to see the world.”

Says the artist of these characters, who frequently morph into animals, shapes and inanimate objects: “My characters try to depict emotional and spiritual states. There are no accurate names or definitions for so many of these sensations – they just go through us and we cannot explain what it is that has occurred. My work attempts to translate these things that are captured only by intuition.”
