Architect Chicô Gouvêa was born in Rio de Janeiro where he graduated. Closely linked to Brazilianness, Chicô has long explored in his work the colours, symbols and images of an exuberant culture. With a great knowledge of his country and an attention to the details that make up its rich palette of sensations, Chicô’s pieces, many of which were created under the “Olhar o Brasil by Chicô” project, always display enormous vitality and joy.
