--> Until April 13 Art Exhibit by João Henrique Brandão "The Duality of Life" João Henrique Brandão was born in Curitiba, Brazil in 1981 and was raised around paintings, books, palettes, pieces of furniture, tubes of oil paint and frames where he was taught the commitment and discipline essential to make art.
