Guerra, Mozart

Brazil, 1962

Born in Recife in 1962, Mozart Guerra studied Architecture at University Federal of Pernambuco where he graduated in 1986. During the first years of his career, Guerra worked as a scenographer in theatre, cinema and television, where he learnt sculpture. In 1922 he settled in Paris where he devoted himself exclusively to plastic arts. Guerra’s cultural and historical legacy ties in with his own universe full of vibrant communicating colours. Through his grotesque and rough figures, the artist creates a unique visual repertoire made of materials such as rope, polystyrene foam, expansive foam or ceramic.
