Valques celebrates another milestone in his career with Jayme Morjadim, a renowned Brazilian TV director and member of the traditional Matarazzo Family, as his godfather. An opportunity that further solidifies his place in the Brazilian art scene. Since 2019, when he was promoted by the World Arte Show Brasil Association, Valques has already shown signs of his artistic evolution, and the recognition he has been receiving is the result of a path that was already outlined by his heredity.
Son of the famous artist Nilson Pimenta, Valques grew up immersed in an artistic environment that shaped his vision and skills. Nilson, a reference in Cuiabá, has always been an inspiration to Valques, who considers his father's talent to be unique and unparalleled. In the documentary “Trajetória de Nilson Pimenta”, the stories lived by father and son intertwine, forming a rich narrative that highlights the importance of art in the lives of both.
From a very young age, Valques began attending the Ateliê Livre at the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT), where his father taught painting. For him, the transition from being just a spectator to making his first “scribbles” was natural, a step that led him to explore his own creativity. Today, Valques is recognized for his works of sacred art, which he shares with his followers on social media, revealing his deep connection with spirituality and artistic tradition.
Valques Pimenta is not just an artist; he is a living legacy of the culture and traditions of his homeland. With a career marked by achievements and a deep respect for art, he continues to inspire new generations, proving that talent can be a legacy that transforms into a unique and powerful expression.
