Henreique Oliveria

Henreique Oliveria


Henreique Oliveria is a Brazilian sculptor, born in 1973.
He graduated from The School of Communication and Arts São Paulo, Brazil, in 2004,
and earned his Masters in Visual Poetics in 2007.
Oliveria creates naturalistic sculptures out of old plywood, fencing, and PVC, recycled from dumpsters from his home city, São Paulo.

I enjoy his work due to its very organic and natural style. His sculptures seem to burst from walls and containment which I find intriguing. It's amazing that he forms all of his sculptures out of plywood, as they seem to be made completely out of natural wood. I would love to create work like this, (unlike my failed attempt for my final.)
