Filipe Branquinho
Moçambique
Filipe Branquinho was born in Mozambique (1977), and he currently lives and works between Maputo, Madrid and San José, Costa Rica.
He is a multi-talented artist, studied architecture and follows a dual career as a photographer and illustrator.
Brought up in an environment closely connected to Maputo’s journalistic and artistic spheres, the artist’s aesthetic combines familiarity with the architecture and the “school” of Mozambican photography. Raised among big names such as Ricardo Rangel, Kok Nam, and José Cabral, he fuses genres like portrait and landscape, and proposes a reflection on social issues related to the contemporary reality of Mozambique, its folkways, mythology and urban dynamics.
His works have been selected for a number of group and solo exhibitions in Mozambique, Brazil, Portugal, and South Africa. He was one of the selected artists to represent Mozambique at La Biennale di Venezia 2019.
