Martin Luther King – Valter Lopes
Valter Lopes was born in Coimbra, Portugal, in 1980. Lives and works in the Praia de Mira, Portugal.
Studied painting Painting at Escola Universitária das Artes de Coimbra – EUAC in 2004 – 2009.
The human figure is one of the central themes of his painting. Paint with oil and acrylic.
Uses photography as a tool to photograph models he knows or people in daily life and intimacy. Photography allows a departure from his own reality which creates other points of view that he then apply to the painting. Some works reflect movements and breaks, are intentional and arise through the photographic accident and the natural movement of living things.
