Urban growth research on natural areas, creating visual narratives

Chico Santos (1982) Brazilian born in Paraná, an artist who graduated from the University of Estadual in Londrina and then took a post-graducate diploma in interactive media, is an observer of the world around and the changes that have transformed it, more particularly the spread of cities and the encroachment of urban areas onto the natural landscape.

Through this process, his work is repeated to infinity, thereby exploring the possibilities of video, sculpture and also installation
