Born in San Jose, Uruguay on November 6, 1960, his mother was an artist from whom he learned to take his first strokes. She is, and will always be, his greatest inspiration ... Hugo Nantes, a world-renowned artist, was his first great master. Being a native of the same city, Mr. Nantes is another key person in Eduardo’s training. He frequently visited his workshop and there, he discovered a window into the art world. Always in contact with all kinds of artistic expressions, Eduardo has experimented mainly in painting and sculpture, with a dynamic and spontaneous language of enormous strength. He left home at the age of 16 and moved to São Paulo, Brazil, where he lived for nearly 30 years. Although during this time he had as a priority his well succeeded career, he did not put aside his artistic vein. He created several works such as oil paintings, acrylics, metal and wood sculptures, as well as designs of furniture, houses and murals. Many of these works are in private collections in Brazil, Uruguay, USA and other countries. His work was strongly influenced by Brazil’s diversity, its geographical greatness and huge mix of races and cultures, gave him the opportunity to learn and interact with an infinite universe of options. Settled 10 years ago in USA, Eduardo has participated in several workshops and exhibitions. ​In 2013 he decides to devote nearly full time to art and opens Studio 122 in Coral Gables Launches "The present in the present" as his inspirational platform “THE PRESENT IN THE PRESENT” See less
