Rono Figueiredo
 
 
About the Artist

The art of Rono is fun, full of joy and at the same time introspective. The mystery is always present in the look of his stylized women.
In “The Faces of Maria” Rono uses vibrant colors that seem to burst out of the painting, a very strong characteristic in his work. His drawings are simple but very expressive, they remind us the art of the cartoons. In this series the artist represents women from his hometown in daily activities and by doing so he recreates the reality around him. In the painting “Abaeté” which is displayed in gallery N. 22, in London – Rono shows a typical “lavadeira” of the famous lagoon, one of the most visited tourist attraction in the city.

He has shown his work in a number of collective and solo exhibitions here in the capital and interior cities around the state. His art was published in a number of art publications in Brazil and abroad. He has also done some illustrations for fashion and design magazines.

The personality of this artist is already so strong that a good observer could identify his painting without his signature "this is a Rono Figueiredo".
