RAFAEL FRÁGUAS
Brazil
Born and raised in Brazil and currently working in Lisbon, Portugal. "The universe represented in my works is the one I feel most connected with; the inspiration comes from the surroundings, but especially from the way of interacting with materials and improvising with gestures. The working process for me doesn't start with any clear idea, but with the feelings I pass through."
