Manuel Caeiro (Portugal, 1975) holds a BA in Fine Arts from the Fine Arts Academy of Lisbon, Portugal. Caeiro’s artistic process is centered around the deconstruction and rebuilding of objects and spaces, imbuing them with a new sense of geometric identity. By interpreting real subjects and constructing them within a plastic environment, he is able to create a new, abstract sense of reality rich with figurative possibilities. For Caeiro, this representation allows him to unfold unique, spatial rhythms and modulations onto the canvas. Caeiro has participated in multiple solo and group presentations, including Light Monument // Sq. Feet, Ponces + Robles, Madrid (2017); Mikado, BetaPictoris Gallery, Alabama (2016); Down side up (Lurixs-Baró), Galeria Baró, São Paulo (2011); and O Palácio, Carlos Carvalho Arte Contemporânea, Guimarães (2020). He came first place in the 2nd Ariane de Rothschild Painting Prize, Lisbon (2005).
