What Happens when Graphic Artist get bored??

~Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?

Pablo Picasso

~Painting is the most beautiful of all arts. In it, all sensations are condensed; contemplating it, everyone can create a story at the will of his imagination and.. with a single glance.. have his soul invaded by the most profound recollections; no effort of memory, everything is summed up in one instant. A complete art which sums up all the others and completes them.

Paul Gauguin

~By nature I am curious about life, and this extends to my business.

Richard Branson

~I know some people think one leads a glamorous life, but I must admit I've never felt that myself. Even when you've sat here in Hollywood with a swimming pool out there, I still feel my life is just as a working artist, actually.

David Hockney

~Lack of clarity is probably more responsible for frustration and underachievement than any other single factor.

Brian Tracy

~I'm not looking for images, They just appear and take on an interest. Sometimes you look at a thing and it has no interest and then you see it in a different way and it has another meaning. Or something that was of no use will become useful.

Jasper Johns

~You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life.

Salvador Dali

~One has the advantage when you're very young that you've nothing to lose. Later on things become a burden, I think your past work sometimes becomes a burden.

David Hockney

~My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece.

Claude Monet

~What is life, but a series of inspired follies?.

George Bernard Shaw

~He (Vincent) has painted a few portraits which have turned out well, but he always does them for no payment. It is a pity that he does not want to earn something, for if he did want to he could make something here, but you can't change a person..

Theo van Gogh

Fernando Ferreira De Araujo



"Painting, to me, is a unique experience. Each work is a surprise and has its own personal and intuitive meaning. After brainstorming feelings and memories, each one of my paintings evolves freely and independently."
Fernando Ferreira De Araujo


Born in Brazil with a major in Business he gained a strong corporate background in the fashion business; both, as a designer as well as an executive. However, in 1999 he left everything behind and chose to take to the canvas. 1989 was a turning point in his life. Among hundreds of artists, he was one of the few artists chosen by the “Museu do Estado de Pernanmbuco”, in Recife Brazil, to represent rising new talents. This accolade was instrumental in his later decision to devote himself to being a full time artist. He has had a few shows in Brazil; however decided moving to New York City in 2003 and has been living there since then, participating in local shows as well as in other states. He's also a member of the Art Students League of New York.
