Cranio

BrazilianBrazilian
, b. 1982

Fabio de Oliveira Parnaiba, Cranio is a visual artist and adept at free-style. In his production, the artist lets inspiration and the moment guide the conception of the work and does so from a variety of inspirations that include Salvador Dalí's Surrealism, pop references, cartoons and animations. His works are accurate in building narratives that mix feelings and reactions of the spectators. Social themes are a key point that directs his creations and Brazilian problems are protagonists, whether related to politics, consumption, pollution or the environment, generating a fusion between aesthetic fruition and critical reflection. One of his “trademarks” is the blue Indian that is extremely present in his works. They have countless forms and garments, as if they were individuals of a species created by the artist himself, born from the intention of creating a character that is directly related to the image of Brazil. Having created an irreverent and very particular style that can be read both as festive tributes and pertinent and acidic denunciations, his works are exhibited around the world and have also been shown in several exhibitions in Brazil.
