Vinny Olimpio
b. 1988
Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal.
Raised in an industrial town in Minas Gerais, left Brazil for Europe at eighteen. Formed across nearly two decades as a creative and art director in London and California, he left the industry in 2020, built a studio in Mexico City, and has since made work that answers to nothing outside itself.
His work express the tension between movement and intention: the washes and ripples of chaos, reality in constant motion, set against symbols, fixed points chosen to give meaning inside that flow. We control almost nothing, except what we mean by it.
