Theo Pinto is a Brazilian-born artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Originally trained in architecture and design at the Maryland Institute College of Art, he later shifted his focus to painting. His multidisciplinary background continues to inform his understanding of scale, atmosphere, materiality, and the relationship between the viewer and the work.
Working primarily in oil on wood panel, Pinto approaches painting as the construction of an experience rather than an image. Through a process of layering, sanding, and tonal refinement, he creates paintings that reward sustained attention and slow observation.
