Jaime Braz - Eye candy
Malerei
I´m a self-tought painter, using mostly oil on canvas, I have a degree in biology and teach in a portuguese high-school.
The themes for my paintings come to me by that old surrealist method of free association of ideas. I deliberatly avoid painting qui pro quos, i.e. images that start as something, then become something else, like a mountain that changes into a dove, or a face.
Some of my paintings are now in private collections in Portugal, Sweden, Holand, UK and the USA.
The summit of my glory, so to speak, took place last May, when three of my paintings were featured in the russian issue of Esquire magazine. From then on it´s just downhill...
I hope people enjoy looking at my paintings, at least as much as I enjoyed painting them. See my blog: www.pintur-as.blogspot.com and leave a comment. Thank you.
