Adriel Visoto (b. 1987, Brazópolis, Brazil) is a painter whose practice explores intimate, autobiographical, and confessional narratives through small-format works. He holds a BA in Fine Arts from Escola Guignard at UEMG and a Master’s degree in Visual Arts from the Institute of Arts at Unicamp.
Focusing on everyday experiences and domestic rituals, Visoto transforms seemingly ordinary moments into deeply personal compositions. His choice of small formats emphasizes the intimate and tactile qualities of his paintings, inviting viewers into a close and affective relationship with the work. Through subtle narratives drawn from private life, he explores the emotional significance of familiar spaces, personal memories and everyday gestures.
His work has been exhibited at institutions and galleries across Brazil, including Memorial Minas Gerais Vale and the Institute of Arts at Unicamp. He has received several awards and grants for his artistic practice, and his works have been part of the permanent collections of the Museu de Arte do Rio (MAR) and the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) since 2025.
