About
Born in Natal, Brazil, and currently based in Galway, Ireland, Arthur Rosa is a self-taught and intuitive artist. His journey into painting began through music - when he formed his first band, he felt the need to translate this universe visually, creating album covers, posters and other graphic pieces from his own paintings. This is how he began to build a unique and multifaceted visual language.
His artistic practice is guided by a strong commitment to creative freedom and authenticity. Employing a wide range of techniques, he explores various forms of visual expression, revealing the multiple layers of his sensibility.
With works in public and private collections, he has gained recognition on the contemporary art scene as a striking figure of lyrical neo-expressionism, developing pictorial compositions rich in dreamlike intensity and emotional depth.

I saw your face in a splash of sky,
eyes like windows, torn but kind
a violet hush wrapped in honey sun,
laughing where the wild lines run.
