Guilherme Marques
Guilherme Marques was born in the village of Cristiano Otoni, in Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 1984. In 2009 he graduated as a visual artist at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), specializing in sculpture.
Guilherme has taken part in group exhibitions in Brazil and had a solo exhibition in 2007 at the FAPEMIG state agency in Minas Gerais.
In 2009 Guilherme co-founded the Saint Benedict Studio, in Brazil, dedicated to sacred art and architectural design. The studio participated in the renovation works carried out at St James Church in Reading during 2011/12 and supplied the new crucifix and illustrational panels for the chapels of Our Lady and Saint James (http://ateliesaobento.blogspot.co.uk).
Since 2013, Guilherme has returned to a more personal study of figurative sculpture and drawings. He is currently experimenting with modelling clay, mould making and different materials for casting, especially cement and resins.
In 2014 he exhibited his new works and demonstrated some sculptural techniques during the Whiteknights Studio Trail, in Reading (http://www.studiotrail.co.uk/#p=home).
