Giovani Caramello
Self-taught, the artist began his career in 3D modeling and turned to sculpture as a way of perfecting his technique, which then sparked his interest in hyperrealism. Giovani's work addresses questions related to time and its ephemerality; the artist proposes a reflection on the idea that everything one day comes to an end, be it a feeling, an experience, a phase, or life itself. His works show that the only moment that exists is the present, and that it too is ephemeral; he invites us to think about impermanence. His work was included in the group show “50 Anos de Realismo” [50 Years of Realism], at CCBB, and the artist had a solo show at Caixa Cultural Salvador. In addition, his work is part of the collections of the Museu de Arte do Rio de Janeiro and the Casa do Olhar Luiz Sacilotto. “Although young, the artist is now firmly established, given his long and persistent pursuit of excellence, whether in traditional media such as terracotta and marble or in the complex chemical processes of silicone and resin; he excels at everything he sets out to do, but beyond his technique, Giovani has the sensitivity to perceive imminent themes in his poetics.”
