Graphic Designer | São Paulo, Brazil
Brief Resume
Like most people, I started drawing.
Even that I drew a lot through the years, I ended showing just a few illustrations in the Fluxus.
When I created the Fluxus, I started a whole new thing.
Since then, I stopped to illustrate.
My aunt found a drawing that I made when I was 5 years old.
That is the most older register than I have.
With 15 years old, I started aiming for digital paint.
Mixing my hand drawn comics with the computer, I turned into a colorist.
I even painted some editions of X-men and Spiderman of Marvel Comics.
I don´t know if they ever got published though… hehehe
Stan Lee hates me. :P
As I didn´t gain money with this, I started to dedicate my time for digital art.
I spent a few months creating flyers for events.
After this, I start working with web.
I got in the college of Industrial design at Mackenzie University, but by that time, I was already working in the web.
The college helped me sufficiently in the artistic perception.
Compelled me to train also… hehehe
In the first year of college, the Fluxus Central was born.
Today I work as designer in a web agency.
Projects
Well. For the time being, the only project that I come dedicating myself is Fluxus Central.
I have plans to launch a magazine with the things that I write in the Fluxus and with my arts.
Something as a art-poetical-portfolio-of-reference, due for release in the next summer.
But I need to collect more materials, etc.
The project still haven´t name yet.
The most cool thing about this project is that it’ll cost anything.
it’ll be a free distribution.
I think that the Brazilian people deserves to have access for good artistic material without needing to pay for.
All deserve, in the truth.
Inspiration
If you perceive for the Fluxus, I have a melancholic and short while solitary trend.
Gotic art fascinates me. Sometimes I´m inspired in retro art.
But i think this time passed.
I like the Surrealism.
Dalí and Miró especially.
The impressionists like Monet, Renoir, Degas. Visconti, the brazilian. They’re all inspiration for me.
The lights of Monet, are easily visible in my works, if you analyze deepely.
Colors crayons, etc.
Today I´m in a phase of figure the 20´s at 80´s.
This is a biographical art.
I can´t forget to mention architecture and photograph.
80% of my works are based on photographs.
And sure, the people.
I like to see people talking, interacting, etc.
In my works like in my texts, I clearly show that I’m a observer of customs.
People inspire me. Nature inspire me.

Savio Fonseca is a Art Director and illustrator, currently living and working in São Paulo at Wunderman.
I really have a couple of styles of working, my highly rendered work is more influenced by traditional fine art, then theres a more commercial side that is favoured by the editorial, publishing, fashion market.
I got involved with illustration four years ago. I’m self-taught, I have no degree (or anything close to it), nor any professional training.
I try to do whimsical and abstract drawings. I think my style is a mish mash of the ways that effort ends up coming across.
