Artwork Description

Nino Cais (b. 1969, São Paulo) is a multidisciplinary Brazilian artist whose practice moves fluidly across photography, collage, drawing, sculpture, video and installation, always anchored in a poetic interplay between body, image and everyday objects. At the core of his art is a re-examination of the familiar: books, clothing, household items and printed images are cut, folded, layered and juxtaposed to reveal hidden resonances, transform meanings and make the invisible tangible. His interventions often create a sense of strangeness or suspended time, inviting viewers to dwell in a space where memory, ritual and bodily presence overlap. Cais frequently evokes the body as both subject and matrix, not only his own but as a symbolic ground from which the world unfolds, while engaging with themes of spirituality, affect, and cultural imagery. His installations can feel at once intimate and transcendent, turning the ordinary into thoughtful visual poems that question how images and objects shape our experience of life. In his exhibitions, Cais consistently plays with the relationship between materiality and meaning, highlighting the latent power of overlooked things to become carriers of deeper emotional and symbolic weight.
