Beré Magalhães is a Brazilian visual artist based in the city of São Paulo. Among his exhibition projects, notable ones include participation in the 1st São Paulo Naïf Art Salon at the Museu de Arte Sacra de São Paulo (MAS) in São Paulo in 2021, the GAS Project of Anita Schwartz Galeria de Arte in Rio de Janeiro (BR), where he took part in the exhibition Saravá in 2022 curated by Bianca Bernardo, the exhibition Burnt Orange at the Big Yin Gallery in Saint Leonards-on-Sea (UK), also in 2022, the exhibition Zona de Convergência at the Centro Cultural São Paulo (CCSP) curated by Victor Hugo Ezek in 2024 in São Paulo (BR), the exhibition how to build a global south conversation, at the RMB Latitudes Art Fair in Johannesburg (ZA), also in 2024, and the exhibition Funk: Um grito de liberdade, at the Museu da Língua Portuguesa in 2025 in São Paulo (BR).
He has training in Visual Arts and Decoloniality in Brazil, taught by Renata Felinto and held by the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo in 2023. Also in 2023, he received mentorship in the Visual Arts Project Guidance Program at the Sesc São Paulo Research and Training Center, taught by Claudinei Roberto and Gustavo Torrezan. He was one of the artists selected to teach the course Poéticas Contemporâneas at the Instituto Tomie Ohtake as part of the programming for the Calder+Miró exhibition in 2024.
In his work, he seeks to reveal a point of view on the shaping of our species, using oil paint and exploring abstract expressionism, building intimate and immersive color compositions, seeking to sharpen the viewer's visual perception and produce feelings, thus opening paths to new readings through poetic denominations in his works. The artist has been initiated into the secrets of the Brazilian cult of the Orisás, candomblé, and the cult of Ifá. Therefore, many of the philosophies presented in his works are permeated by the oral teachings of the odus and ithans, oracular technologies of Yoruba religiosity and culture.
