Luciano Barreto Ramos [1976] Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil

Visual artist, art and drawing teacher, and publishing illustrator. Luciano Feijao draws with ink on paper and uses everyday materials such as blades, combs and charcoal in his creative process. The artist proposes a reflection about black bodies' objectification/reification in society. His main references are the South African William Kentridge and the Argentinean Luis Trimano. Among the diverse exhibitions he held in Brazil, the following stand out: Dos Brasis - black art and thought (2023-2024), Expanded Northeast - (re) existence strategies (2023-24), Tropical Antianatomy (2018), alongside the artist Rosana Paulino at OÁ Galeria, Bratislava Biennial of Illustration (BIB 2021). In the publishing field, he has worked in: Diario do Hospício by Lima Barreto, Borda Ed.; A Morte de Ivan Ilitch by Liev Tolstoi, Antofagica Ed.; As Almas do Povo Negro by W. E. B. Du Bois, Veneta Ed.; O O Orangotango Marxista by Marcelo Rubens Paiva, Alfaguara Ed.;, as well as in Revista Piauí, Le Monde Diplomatique and Folha de Sao Paulo. In 2023, he was selected to participate in an artistic exchange programme at Pivo Art e Pesquisa, Sao Paulo. During the residency, he redefined his current research, Antianatomia Negra. Recently, this project was chosen in a public call to be part of the 2025 exhibition calendar at the MAES museum, Vitoria, Brazil.
