Art and religion: The works of Wagner Pinto

I am fascinated by religion, particularly yoruba and related syncretic religions. Here is an artist indulging this interest, Wagner Pinto.

Wagner's work is "developed through mixed and threatening forms of drawing and painting" and his research is "based on elements and symbols of umbanda, candomblé, indigenous graphics, religious dressings, alchemycal elements and folklore forest."













Catch Pinto's works live at Brazil Illustrated, from the 10th of September to the 2nd of October.
