Marco Aurélio Casal de Rey was born in 1961, in São Paulo, Brazil, where he lives and works. His forms of expression are drawing and painting, which have his brushstrokes of unique movement, the signature of his line. In 2010, he developed the series "Ar Livre", bringing Nature as its main focus, an invitation for the viewer to reflect on his feelings and secrets. Moving landscapes, the visual sensation that creates and induces us, like a breath of wind. The contemporaneity of the Nature theme resurfaces challenging, as an alert to the preservation and threatened beauty, as part of a vegetal turn.
The lightness and movement of the brushstroke refers to sensations, emotions and memories of well-being. And that is what he focuses on: the human being's current quest to be at ease with life.
Drawings, doodles, sketches, visuals transcribed on paper, his archival photographs become a source of research for his spilled and elongated gaze on everything.
