Ivan Grilo, 1986. Lives and works in Itatiba/SP, Brazil. Graduated in Visual Arts at PUC-Campinas  (2007). 

Displacement is an essential part of Ivan Grilo’s artistic process. Many of his works result of  experiences in the !eld, where he collected stories told by images, documents, and oral accounts.  “ese materials unfold into pieces that illuminate and put a series of episodes into perspective after  they had long been forgotten or neglected in history and memory. His works use a variety of media and tend to be made of more than one element: metal plates with written texts, sculptures,  small objects and photography.
