Biography Meia-G is a Brazilian-born artist from Curitiba whose practice merges reflective abstraction with an experimental visual language. His initial connection to art began in childhood through drawing and watching his mother paint. It was during his years working in fine cuisine that he developed a deep understanding of creative process, method, and discipline. Self-taught across all his crafts, he left the kitchen to pursue tattooing as a pathway into a fully creative life.

After moving from Lisbon back to Curitiba, Meia committed fully to artistic development and relocated to New York City. Painting and tattooing were always parallel dreams; tattooing came first and sustained the journey, while painting matured into its own language. His background in gastronomy, tattooing, and aerial photographic observation shapes a style that is cold, precise, sharp, and emotionally charged.
