''I am obsessed with the beauty in imperfection—that accidental scratch, that uncontrolled drip of paint, are the moments when a work truly comes alive.''

Caetano Amaral's work is strongly autobiographical. Caetano Amaral processes personal memories and traumas through painting, with symbolic objects and recurring dream scenes often appearing in the pictures. For Caetano Amaral, creation is a way of self-healing and reconciling with the world.
