Jorgito (1997, Rondon do Pará, Brazil) is an architect and visual artist based in Lisbon. His practice stems from painting as a field of investigation into affections between people, memory, and the construction of identity. More than representing figures, he constructs atmospheres where intimacy and tension coexist, creating situations that oscillate between exposure and withdrawal.

He holds degrees in Architecture from FUMEC (2019) and in Fine Arts from the Guignard School (2021). His research articulates structure and impulse. His architectural training permeates his composition: there is calculation, scale, rhythm, and spatial organization. But it is the instinctive layer that breaks the surface, guiding gestures, cuts, and approaches. The result is fragmented paintings, where body parts, objects, and voids function as narrative clues.

His process combines traditional painting techniques with material experimentation and intuitive decisions. He works through overlays, erasures, and reappearances, allowing the image to mature as a persistent memory. Each work is born from real encounters and vivid stories, transformed into pictorial matter without becoming literal illustrations. Painting functions as a territory of negotiation between desire, vulnerability, and affirmation.

Jorgito has already presented his work in exhibitions in Portugal and abroad, participating in group shows and curatorial projects that investigate relationships between contemporary figuration, eroticism, and the politics of affect. His production has consolidated itself as a continuous research on presence, contact, and permanence, affirming a unique language that balances sweetness and confrontation.
