Toninho Euzebio
Brazil
Toninho Euzébio is Brazilian, illustrator and artist. Self-taught in oil and acrylic painting on canvas, he made improvements in schools in Brasília and in New York, in “The Art Students League of New York, during the period when he was doing an exhibition in the city.
As an illustrator, he made drawings for children's books with a health approach, addressing topics such as protecting them from smoking, drugs and HIV.
The authorial work that the artist has been developing since 2015, entitled “interference”, has its own style of illustration, where it mixes drawing and photography in the same composition.
The work is based on the interaction of a notebook Moleskine (Toninho is currently the Ambassador’s brand in Brazil) with a background landscape. In it, the artist makes an illustration with his characteristic trace, which fits into this element that can be a monument, a bridge, a tree or anything else that brings us an idea and from that, creates a unique photo of these with his mobile phone, giving another meaning to the final image, in a playful and fun way.
Toninho’s work has gained repercussions in major media outlets in Brazil, such as TV Globo, TV Record and also abroad with interviews on the CNN website in 2016.
In most of his works, the city Brasilia is the main element, where he resides, but since his work gained a repercussion, he started to make series of drawings for various cities where he passed, where São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Paris stands out and others in Portugal.
Some schools in Brasilia use their work as an element of study for children in the classroom.
With this work, he participated in solo exhibitions in Brasília and São Paulo and in collective exhibitions in New York, Miami, Zurich and will do one this year in Barcelona, with a date to be rescheduled.
