Fabio Gonçalves

By LatAm ARTE

Fabio Gonçalves is a Brazilian artist celebrated for his hyperrealistic pencil drawings that merge technical precision and artistic vision. He draws inspiration from architecture, art history, and popular culture to produce drawings with intense detail and a compelling sense of depth. One of his most renowned pieces is his meticulous rendition of the Duomo di Milano door, which took him more than three hundred hours to complete. His mastery of light and shadow gives his works a three-dimensional effect, almost tricking the eye into seeing relief. He devotes extensive time to each piece, often investing hundreds of hours to ensure each detail is accurate. His artwork invites viewers to reflect on the beauty in architectural forms, cultural heritage, and the subtle interplay of light across surfaces.
