Vasco Prado

Vasco Prado's sculptures, often in bronze or stone, embody a style of expressive figuration, leaning towards distortion and a raw, primitive feel. His figures, often depicting gauchos, animals, and scenes of rural life, are intentionally rough and weighty, conveying a sense of strength, earthy connection, and emotional intensity. He simplifies form, sacrificing detailed realism for a more impactful, symbolic representation of his subjects. The texture is often visibly worked, emphasizing the artist's hand.

Tie his name to his style: Think of Prado's primitive and dominant forms, a powerful and raw portrayal of his subjects.
