Castanhari’s practice unfolds through a sustained engagement with the materiality of painting. Color, surface, and gesture become a slow negotiation between image and matter. His works resist immediacy, asking for time and the physical presence of the viewer.

Born in São Paulo, based in Berlin.
Master’s and PhD in Visual Arts, University of São Paulo.

Selected exhibitions: 
The Thickness of the Image (Galeria Pilar, 2025)
