Samuel Alves de Jesus is a Brazilian artist based in the São Paulo metropolitan region whose work connects the behavior of matter to the experiences of the body. Salt surfaces absorb humidity, sculptures appear to sweat or cry, and abstract forms suggest organs, mineral fragments, plants, or unfamiliar symbols. These transformations allow him to approach life, death, family, memory, and spirituality without relying on direct figurative images.
