Amoacy
Berbert Schaustz
- Born in
Nova Friburgo - Rio de Janeiro –
Brasil- on May 3th 1945
Amoacy keeps his work tools in a wood box.
Brushes, spatulas, inks and pens are neatly
aligned. But there is an important tool which doesn’t obey an
order when the artist is painting: passion. A constant
presence in each work, Amoacy’s passion to the art reveals in
vibrant colors, in geometric shapes and harmonic compositions.
It was during his childhood in Nova Friburgo that Amoacy
discovered the world of the art. After he moved to São Paulo
in 1974, he started to paint due to a friend’s influence.
Glass and velvet were the materials that got the first flicks.
Nowadays,canvas is the preferred base to create abstract,
geometric and figurative forms with acrylic paint. Strong
colours, use of texture and application of different materials
compose his work of contemporary style. Self-educated, he
improved the technique doing a painting course at the Academia
Brasileira de Arte, being rewarded by a colletive exhibition
for the most creative work. Graduated in textile chemistry,
Amoacy lived in Germany and Switzerland where he attended
specialization courses.He has been working with dyes and
pigments for more than 30 years. Always surrounded by COLOUR
which reflects in his paintings. |
