From Comics to Equations: Paulo Amorim’s Path
Born in Lisbon in 1978, Paulo Amorim crafted comics at age nine. Award-winning in Portugal, he published “Todos os passos serão como o começo dos passos” in 2001.
He studied Painting at Lisbon’s Fine Arts but skipped brushes. Switched to Mathematics, earning a 2008 PhD from Paris 6 University. Two poems featured in 2015’s unpublished poetry anthology.
Now a Rio professor and researcher since 2013, he debuts bold paintings. Curated by Bruno Castaing.
From comic lines to math precision, Amorim paints with poetic soul.
