Élon Brasil (Brazilian, b.1957) is a self-taught plastic artist, born on the beach of Jurujuba, Niterói, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, where, at the age of six, he first started sketching. The artist's mixed cultural heritage, which includes Brazilian Indian, African, Italian, and Portuguese roots, serves as the inspiration for much of his work. The artist has also been inspired by his time spent living with indigenous tribes in the Amazon, and in Benin, Togo, and Ghana, in Africa.
His brightly colored figurative work is comprised of images of Indians, Afro-Brazilians, and Caboclos, as well as the landscapes they inhabit. His themes aim to emphasize and preserve Brazilian culture, as well as his own roots.
He became known internationally while living in Switzerland, where he had several exhibitions, and received prestigious commissions from European collectors. Today, his work is shown in cities around the world, including in Brazil, Europe, and North America.
