Rubem Valentim - Sacred geometry

Artist Spotlight

Rubem Valentim (b.1922, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil) started painting as a child and began his professional artistic career in the late 1940s, when he participated in a movement of renovation of the arts in Bahia. Before dedicating himself to his artistic career, he worked as a Journalist and Dentist. His multidisciplinary formation included studies in areas such as Journalism, Art History and the Humanities in general, Afro-Brazilian culture and popular music. Born and raised in Salvador, the city with the largest Black population outside the African continent, Valentim was surrounded by the mystic symbology of the African religious universe in Brazil, mainly Candomblé and Umbanda, which play central role in the artist’s symbolic universe.
