Renato Costa (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1974) has lived and worked in Madrid since 2005. He began his training in the studio of his father, the painter Manoel Costa, and studied Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid. He has held numerous solo and group exhibitions in Europe and the Americas, including Spain, Germany, Belgium, Peru, and Columbia. His work is defined by the intense expression of emotions through its distinctive techniques and themes. His themes frequently present a profound connection between the past and the present, whether through collective history or personal memory. He uses and vindicates figuration, subjectivity, open emotions, autobiography, memory, symbolism, psychology and narrative, mixing these factors with the strategies of conceptual art, in search of the dilation and modulations of a range of pictorial traditions that are increasingly interwoven with each other, in an exercise that aims to get rid of any prejudice in favor of freedom of action. His works have been exhibited in several public institutions, including the IAACC, Aragonese Institute of Contemporary Art and Culture, Pablo Serrano Museum (Zaragoza), the CEART Tomás y Valiente Contemporary Art Center (Fuenlabrada, Madrid) and the IVAM, Valencian Institute of Modern Art (Valencia), etc.
