Born in Niterói, 1989, Eduardo Baltazar lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. Self-taught painter, he has a degree in Architecture and Urbanism from UFRJ and a master's degree in Art History from PUC-Rio. He attended the Parque Lage School of Visual Arts on the Foundation in Visual Arts course, in addition to other free courses.
His small-format paintings, made in oil and beeswax on linen, contain images of low lighting, diffuse contours, symbolic shapes and a central point of light. Like large canvases that have been reduced without losing material, his works are made of silence and contemplation condensed into nocturnal form, seeking a balance between the window and the screen. Through different layers of paint, he explores the relationship between the known and the unknown contained in darkness.
His images suggest that the dark and silence are full of presences other than the usual ones. Just like returning from a meditative moment, his paintings offer aesthetic experiences anchored in the observation of the day's passage. They are imagined landscapes that seek to open mental spaces, inviting the resumption of unarmed attention, typical of the unconscious and opposed to contemporary acceleration.
His solo exhibitions are: Salt of memory - Piccola Arena - Petrópolis, Brazil (2025); noitinha - Galeria Athena - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2024); Meia-luz - Galeria Bianca Boeckel - São Paulo, Brazil (2023).
