Anderson Oliveira Pires, Brazilian artist born on April 5, 1980 in Porto Alegre, discovered his gift and taste for art very early. He developed his art at an early age and was encour-aged to do so by an art teacher at the school where he studied. But it was in the center of Porto Alegre in 1997 that he began to develop his art vigorously when he started working downtown in a public office. In the center of her hometown, she started to frequent mu-seums, art spaces, and to have contact with street artists. It didn't take long for him to abandon his formal job and sell his paintings in the center of Porto Alegre. He participated in some exhibitions in Porto Alegre and one in Balneário Camboriú. Passionate about life since always. Passionate about human experience, he lives intensively all his moments try-ing to improve every day and seeks to bring lightness, strength, and reflection to those who admire his works. He seeks inspiration in the colors and shapes of nature, in music, philosophy, and literature. An admirer of Rembrandt, Renoir, Jackson Pollock, and the im-pressionist, abstract, and abstract expressionist styles, he has his insights dipped in music, in the feelings in his dreams, and during periods of meditation. Passionate and intense, yet soft when and fluid is accurate which is clearly seen in his art. Increasingly focused on abstract art he expresses his feelings with textures and paints seeking balance, harmony between shapes and colors in his works while trying to balance his own inner world. Just like in the song "One Moment in Time" he tries to do his best every day believing that his dreams are only a heartbeat away and that his best moment is yet to come.

Statement
For me art is part of my essence. When I am painting, I feel like I don’t need anything else and sometimes I lose track of time and go days without sleep and hours without eating immersed in paints, textures, shapes and colors. I confess to being passionate about life and everything I do I do with feeling and with that passion I go deep and get mixed up with my work. When I paint, I can visit the past and the future as if in a dream and the same time I live that moment intensely. In my concept, art is the materialization of immortality, vìbecause when my material body leaves my inner being, my soul will remain in my work. I know that I can change the world around me to some extent with my attitudes and choices, but I know that I am more successful when I am im-mersed in myself, because at the same time I try to harmonize paints, textures, shapes, and col-ors, I harmonize things in my inner world, in my mind and heart and thus making me better for myself and for everyone around me. So I invite you to take this trip and get to know me a little more through my art!
