beardcoded is a interdisciplinary artist working in an expanded notion of drawing since 2006, in diverse mediums from painting to sound, performance and generative art programming. With a background in biomedical engineering and computer science, his work straddles arts-science research to probe and bring to surface, meaning and new understanding through the study of aesthetics, abstraction, heuristics and realtime compositional constructions. Generative painting with code forms a core area of his practice as abstraction is efficiently studied by developing algorithms that can support human endeavour. These computational constructions act as the poetic structure and research for developing the study of painting further and vice versa, vibrating back and forth as the process for visual development.
He has received Open Sessions fellowship, 2017-2018 from The Drawing Center, New York and Áprofundamento fellowship, 2013-2014 from Parque Lage School of Visual Arts in Rio de Janeiro among others, along with receiving a commission to paint a 60x3 meters mural from Biblioteca Naçional de Brasil (National Library of Brasil) in Rio de Janeiro. His work has been part of various international exhibitions and collaborations.
