Aguinaldo Santos, a Brazilian artist and architect, has earned recognition for his thought-provoking artistic style. After moving to Charlotte, NC, in 2019, he devoted himself entirely to art, blending his background in architecture and interior design. Known for his curiosity and his drive to mix varied elements, Santos’s works explore themes of transformation and human connection. His signature approach, leaving parts of his paintings unfinished, encourages reflection on impermanence and change. Since 2021, Santos has had the pleasure of participating in many art festivals, exhibitions like “Crossing Boards” in NYC, a global showcase with artists from over 75 countries. Santos is passionate about building ties between Brazilian and American art communities and inspiring new perspectives through his distinctive work.
