Among 24 artists in “Chromatism”, Rio-based Pivetti unveils works about duality, daily life, and raw emotion.
Brazilian visual artist Pivetti stands out in the group show “Chromatism: Allegory of Colors”, on view until the end of March at the Vogue Gallery BR Cultural Space, inside Shopping Vogue Square, Barra da Tijuca. The exhibition gathers 24 contemporary artists exploring the strength and symbolism of color through multiple techniques and expressions.
Everyday stories and emotion
With pieces like “Swallowing Frogs” and “Drag King”, Pivetti reflects on the quiet pressures of everyday life. “Sometimes you have to listen and stay silent for the sake of politeness or hierarchy. My works speak about this inner side of being human,” he shares.
Rio as his classroom
A self-taught artist, Pivetti sees the streets of Rio as his true mentor. “I paint what I see, what I live, and what I feel. My routine in the city naturally shapes my art,” he says. He often uses cubism to express themes of duality and inner conflict.
Time and transformation
Skulls and symbols of change appear as metaphors for his relationship with time. “I’m 28 and already feel like I’m entering the first third of my life. Becoming a father made this feeling even stronger.”
Accessible art and new paths
Pivetti aims to reach audiences beyond the traditional art circuit by sharing his process online. “I like to explain how my works are created so people can connect,” he notes. He’s also experimenting with sculptures and mini toys. “I don’t like to feel stuck. I love to explore.”
Fatherhood as consolidation
To him, fatherhood represents both artistic and personal consolidation. “When my son was born, I decided I’ll do everything to live from my art and make him proud.”
