1. Organic Wooden Sculptures by
Henrique Oliveira

2. • Hailing from São Paulo, Brazil, Henrique Oliveira is an award-
winning artist that has exhibited his work around the world. Born in
1973, Oliveira received his BFA and Masters in Visual Poetics from
the University of São Paulo.
• While Henrique is also well-known for his paintings, this post
focuses on his incredible wooden sculptures and installations. Using
a combination of reclaimed plywood, fencing and PVC, Oliveira
creates organic wooden sculptures that have a movement and flow
that makes them feel liquid.
• Oliveira’s installations are massive, often overtaking entire rooms
and spaces. He first forms his shapes with PVC and then
meticulously wraps it in layers of plywood, stripping away layers to
reveal different colours of wood.
• Be sure to visit Henrique’s official site to see his entire portfolio of
work including his paintings and smaller-scale sculptures.
