Manoel Costa was born on the state of Pará, Brazil. The son of a canoeing. In his childhood he lived in the forests, watching the landscape and also jungle's many dangers. Then one day, he heard a sweet music of the world around him, and after that the passion of registering forms and colors stroke like a thunder. This is how painting and art entered his life: to capture not only the beauty around him, but the magnetism of the landscape. His self made effort overcame his cultural environment limitations. He was awarded a scholarship on the Fine Art School of Rio de Janeiro. Finally, Manoel Costa was really able to express his vocation. Not even a victorious passage in publicity was able to apart him from art. During his life, he sees his painting as a ongoing search for his own truth, exploring many different languages such as abstract, a sort of expressionism that liberates objective and real references and promotes a different style of drawing with and a color freedom. Now, fully matured, Manoel Costa's work is documented in the World Wide Web with the intention to make his most deepest dream come true, which is to open his art and his world to foreign countries. Until now he has basically aimed Brazil. Manoel Costa's own words "I could say that my painting has charisma, that my themes identifies with observer, but I think it is more than that, there is a visual aspect that creates a unique emotion inside the observer. This is my great secret, although not even I have the formula. I tried very hard to exclude myself and my work from all tendencies, niches and started to work the most magical element of painting, which is color. Color is the single most important aspect of my work, everything else is secondary. Each primary color has infinite variations and I work with these variations multiplying the tonal spectrum. I don't use pure colors, I work them until they fascinate me and then I magnetize my observer."
