Rodrigo Veloso (Lisbon, 1995) completed a master’s degree in Architecture from University of Lisbon (IST) in 2018, where in the final year he lived and studied for a semester in Ljubljana, Slovenia. With a previous path through the Visual Arts, during the Architecture program he continues to draw and paint, doing his first solo show of painting in Lisbon in 2018. In March 2019 he joined the team of the architecture studio ARX Portugal Arquitectos, as a Trainee Architect until April 2020, where he continued his artistic practice of drawing and painting in parallel. After his internship at ARX, he decided to focus on his individual journey as an artist, having dedicated more time and focus to his artistic path, integrating several collective exhibitions and art fairs such as the Pla'arte Art Fair Lisbon in 2021 and The Other Art Fair Brooklyn in 2022. He also has done collaboration projects in illustration and graphic design with Studio Ayer. His work is now a combination of his different backgrounds and experiences where different cultures and ways of living have a big influence in his practice. Visiting countries throughout South America (Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina) and Africa (Egypt, Mozambique) have directly affected his work. He has been living in New York City since September 2021. Rodrigo has exhibited work in Lisbon, New York, Paris and Madrid.
