About Fernando Vignoli
- Fernando Torres Vignoli (Belo Horizonte, August 14, 1960 – December 13, 2016), professionally known as Vignoli, was a Brazilian painter and sculptor.
- He began his career in 1982 creating canvases in oil on canvas, where he applies his own technique, which, according to him, allows a perfect balance in the distribution of the elements, leading the viewer to come across texture, plasticity and creation, in perfect Harmony within the history of each painting.
- The style of Vignoli is a fusion between Surrealism and Expressionism, hence the declared influence by the Spanish master Salvador DalÃ.
- By 2013, Vignoli work had been exhibited in more than 20 nations. Vignoli develops in his painting a very personal interpretation of human dramas, dealing with stylistic references of Romanticism, Expressionism and metaphysical painting, movements that, like Surrealism, dedicated themselves to interrogating inexpressible human dimensions.
- In his work it is possible to see paintings by Picasso, Munch, Miró, Magritte and Dalà adorning abandoned walls and chairs.
- The poetic content of the scenes is pronounced following the mysterious language of the dream, providing metaphors and multiple interpretations. Fernando Vignoli died on a Tuesday afternoon (December 13, 2016) in his hometown Belo Horizonte.
- The artist, who was struggling with leukemia, had been hospitalized on the day before.
- However, he ended up not resisting the complications and died due to sepsis.
