Eduardo Xuamba (born in Alfredo Wagner, Santa Catarina, Brazil, in 2000) is a Brazilian artist based in Lisbon since 2021.
His practice unfolds through painting and drawing, exploring the mystery and ambiguity of images. Through hybrid forms, expressive colour, and the movement of line, he creates compositions that remain open to different interpretations.
What moves me to create is mystery: that place where an image remains unresolved and never fully reveals itself. A question always emerges:
is this really what it seems? Could this image also be something else?”
His artistic journey began with dance and later expanded into writing and painting. He is the author of Mora em Mim? and is currently taking the Cozinha da Pintura course, where he explores references and techniques associated with the Baroque.
His work has been exhibited in Lisbon, Barcelona, and São Paulo, including at Galeria Graça Brandão, Casa Oxente, and Kovak & Vieira. He is part of the programme at Kolibri Gallery in Lisbon.
