Antonio Breves

Antonio Breves is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Antonio Breves used to walk Rio’s streets with a sketchbook, stopping to watch tattoo artists at work. He turned those scenes into prints that feel like postcards from someone’s memory, a palm tree over a shoulder, a snake curling around an ankle, all in bold lines you can trace with your finger. One piece to start with: Tatuagem Carioca, a print that hangs the city’s ink on paper like treasure.
