Paulo Nimer Pjota (born 1988)[1] is a mixed media Brazilian artist. Pjota prefers to work on large surfaces. He uses canvas, sacks and scrap metal plates, mostly found in junkyards, as supports.
Paulo Nimer Pjota was born in São José do Rio Preto, Brazil in 1988. He studied at the University Center of Fine Arts of São Paulo earning his Bachelor of Visual Arts. Pjota now lives and works in São Paulo,.[2] He is an artist of many mediums and prefers to work on large surfaces.[3]
Pjota's art consists of many colliding components that are neither literal or direct but rather suggestive and at times curious. "His works highlight the clichés of figurative and landscape painting".(Artuner) Each canvas is treated as a sketchbook of sorts in where you find a collection of images with no particular placement but each image intentionally.[4]
Pjota suggests an open narrative in no particular order but the order in which the viewer's imagination takes. His work confronts the viewer with a string of juxtapositions. The archeological artifacts are compared with soda cans, still lifes overshadowed by war and popular culture meets what once was.
