Pedro Suzuki Ursini was born in São Paulo, where he lives and works. Visual Artist graduated from ECA/USP, originally enrolled as a literature student at the same university. He works as a printmaker, primarily with intaglio techniques; a favourite procedure is that of image appropriation, then transferred to the cooper plate, etched and reworked. This practice, always in touch with the history – of techniques and of images -, relies on the idea that a critical imagination is deeply rooted in the obsolescence of the medium; the most important is not to judge the currentness of art, but to exercise its inherent freedom – which, in the culture of progress, can always be found in the privileged experience of all things past and disposable.
