Humberto "Beto" Carrazzone was born in 1967 in São José do Rio Preto in the state of São Paulo, Brasil. He has been painting for about ten years, and his unusual works have been exhibited in various individual and group shows in galleries and museums in Brasil and Italy.

Although his work is rooted in a modern aesthetic, hints of Oriental and African moods may surface in his art. Says Beto, "What began as a series of designs in the early '90s grew into an archive of signs and symbols that characterize my work. I have developed my paintings on the most distinctive surfaces, in order to bring into focus the relationship of these symbols to my artwork."

"Over the years, I have been influenced by images from alchemy and, using various materials such as recycled paper, resins, paraffin and bees wax, I've discovered ways to produce textured pieces replete with metaphoric ideas that have provided the key to my more recent works. Today, introducing new discoveries, I am creating a new generation of symbolic archives within my paintings."
