A 53-year-old painter who currently calls the charming southern region of Florida, USA, home. I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and from an early age, I was captivated by the allure of colors and brushes, thanks to my mother, a natural-born artist who adorned upholstery and glass with mastery.

At the age of 10, my mother noticed my growing interest in painting and led me to her school. There, I experienced a magical encounter with art, instantly connecting with paints, materials, and the abstract. This moment was pivotal and planted the seeds of art that would accompany me throughout life.

My journey took a challenging turn when I moved to the United States. Adaptation, responsibilities, and professional challenges temporarily distanced me from my true calling. For over a decade, painting, my deepest passion, took a back seat.

The turning point came when I rented a modest warehouse and built my own studio. This was the milestone that transformed my life and reignited the creative flame that had always burned within me. Managing this space was a challenge, but each brushstroke was an affirmation of what I truly wanted for my life.

Each artwork I create since then is an expression not only of my technical skill but also of the resilience that shaped my journey. Building my dreams from scratch was a challenging journey, but the achievement of that space was the realization of a dream I didn’t even know I had.

My approach goes beyond simply applying paint to a canvas, after all; “I don’t just create paintings, they are thoughts on the canvas.” Each artwork is a dialogue, a visual narrative that invites you to immerse yourself in the unfolding stories before your eyes.

Today, I share my creations with the world through this website, offering you the opportunity to bring a piece of my art into your space. Each canvas tells a story, not only of my journey but also of the unique connection that art creates between the creator and the admirer.

Exploring these works, you are not just acquiring a painting, but a piece of my soul materialized in colors and forms. Welcome to Mauricio Machado’s artistic universe, where each piece is a testimony to persistence, love for art, and the tireless pursuit of authentic expression. Make yourself at home.
