Carlito Carvalhosa (1961–2021) forged a singular path in contemporary art, exploring a wide range of techniques and media, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, installation, and performance—always with an approach that expanded the boundaries of materials and space. His work, consistently marked by the presence of the body—whether through gesture, interaction, or the reflections it evokes—establishes powerful dialogues with both the audience and the exhibition space. With a career spanning São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Carvalhosa also had significant engagements in Europe and the United States, fostering a network of collaborations and exchanges with artists, critics, and institutions that continue to resonate today. During his lifetime, he participated in major exhibitions and curatorial projects, held prominent solo exhibitions and large-scale installations, and published monographs and exhibition catalogues. His personal archive was meticulously maintained and received particular attention in the final years of his life, undergoing digitization and cataloguing.
