"Art for me is everything, expression, love, dedication, perception, idea ..."
Duran is a Brazilian artist, born in April 1998 in Olímpia, SP, where he lives today. His parents are traders and have always supported him in the artistic field, whether by investing in materials and advising him.

For the artist, art can make a difference in the world, as it already does, from the artist's own experience, art has completely changed his life, his way of looking at life, his lifestyle, taking him to his own knowledge and to emotional balance and thus respect even more the next.
“A work of art touches the soul!”
The creative process of the artist Duran comes from his intuition, soon the first sketches appear in a mystical way, his involvement with the mandalas comes from his vision “that if we look at the world in a broad way and all living beings, even we will see under the microscopes that their shapes are different mandalas. ”The artist uses a marker pen and makes use of the brush to create the gradients with acrylic paint.
His inspiration for the diversified palette comes through observation in the artists Okuda San Miguel and Eduardo Kobra. His current research has been in the works of the Portuguese artist Diogo Machado.
Her name is launched in the art market through the company Vivemos Arte, with its first exhibition scheduled for March 2020, WE Live Art - 3rd edition, which will take place in Rio de Janeiro with artistic assistance and curated by Lisandra Miguel.
