Menedico

Born in Camanducaia, Minas Gerais. Visual Artist, Photographer, Author, Writer and Researcher.

I am the son of Geralda and Sebastião, who studied only up to the second year of primary school. I have six siblings. Despite significant financial hardship, my parents never spared any effort to ensure that I could study. I remember my father going into debt at the local stationery shop so that I would be the first in my class to have the books recommended by the teachers. It was there that I understood that knowledge is not a privilege — it is a responsibility. From that awareness, I chose an interdisciplinary vision as my life project. Each degree, as well as my Master’s and Doctorate, does not represent the accumulation of titles, but the fulfilment of a mission: to honour my parents and to affirm education as a path of transformation.

Journey

Art, Photography, and Literature in Continuous Dialogue.
My career is marked by innovation, a strong creative drive, and a dedication to turning cultural diversity into both aesthetic and enduring significance.

Academies

  • Corresponding Member of the Academy of Arts and Letters of Fortaleza (ALAF)

  • Member of the Academy of Sciences, Letters, and Arts of Vitória (ACLAV)

  • Member of the Luminescence Academy of Araraquara (SP)

  • Commitment to Culture

My connection with the community runs deep. I founded theatre and Congado groups, joined the Reviver Serestas Ensemble, and served as mestre-sala for the Mocidade Independente Unidos do Samba school in Camanducaia (MG) for four consecutive years.

These experiences shaped my creative vision and reinforced art as a living expression of the collective soul.

Educational Background

My education is broad and multifaceted, integrating art, science, and education within a single horizon.

Menedico Manifesto

MENEDICO was born from a misunderstanding.

From a name heard differently.
From an ordinary moment touched by chance.
From what escapes control, yet endures.

If Benedito is the given name,
MENEDICO is the displaced one.

It is noise transformed into language.
It is error converted into presence.
It is the everyday transfigured into painting.

MENEDICO’s works do not shout.
They remain.

Cats are not merely animals — they are silent vigils.
Pine trees are not simply trees — they are time made vertical.
Houses are not structures — they are inhabitable memory.

Each canvas is unique.
Each gesture is irrepeatable.
Each work carries the mark of its moment.

MENEDICO does not reproduce.
MENEDICO does not replicate.
MENEDICO affirms.

The art here does not arise from excess.
It arises from listening.

And all listening begins with a deviation.
