It happened in the last August 30th, FAASP – São Paulo Social Art Fair, the Entre Mundos Exhibition, took place. It featured renowned Brazilian artist Dilson Cavalcanti, whose work was exhibited at the annual event, promoted by InnGallery, held at the Brazilian-British Center in São Paulo – SP, an occasion that highlighted his talent and creativity.
Curated by Flávia Coelho and Carmem Pousada, the Exhibition presented a selection of works that highlight the diversity and depth of the artistic universe of Brazilian artists, highlighting Cavalcanti, whose work "Melancholia" was one of the exhibition's centerpieces.
The work "Melancholia" – acrylic on canvas measuring 1.70 x 1.40 meters – conveys, through gestures and a mixture of colors, a search for balance and aesthetics, perhaps reflecting the inner unease and anxieties of everyday life. The colors used convey a sense of reflection and hope, symbolizing a light that generates change and continuous transformation. The piece invites the viewer to a Introspection on emotions and the path to inner renewal.
Dilson Cavalcanti, born in Tupanatinga, Pernambuco, has dedicated himself to art for 18 years, exploring abstraction and creating fluid paintings full of colors and elements that make up his visual identity. After gaining recognition with his caricatures of Brazilian female celebrities through the Brazilian Monalisa Project and a tribute to the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's death, Cavalcanti gained international recognition, exhibiting his works in Paris, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and several other countries.
With a career marked by innovation and artistic sensitivity, Dilson Cavalcanti continues to explore the limits of expression and reflect on the world around him, winning admirers and critics throughout Brazil and around the world.
For 2026, Cavalcanti is preparing to take a major step in his artistic career with the production of a documentary that will detail his true story and the success of his work, which has achieved significant success and crossed borders. Brazilian Monalisas by Dilson Cavalcanti.

Memefication." Free of charge and open to the public daily from 9:00 AM to

social, and political expression in Brazil.

consumers of memes in the world, and is also a pioneer in a large-scale exhibition
dedicated to this phenomenon. The project offers an immersion in contemporary
art, digital culture, and social critique, exploring memefication as a tool for
narrating contemporary Brazil with humor, irony, and reflection.
The curation breaks down
boundaries between different languages, bringing together renowned names in
Brazilian art, such as Anna Maria Maiolino, Gretta Sarfaty, Nelson Leirner, and
Claudio Tozzi, alongside popular content creators, including Porta dos Fundos,
Melted Vídeos, John Drops, Greengo Dictionary, and Alessandra Araújo. Thus, the
exhibition highlights the importance of memes as an artistic expression and
instrument of social critique, reflecting the diverse voices that make up the
Brazilian cultural scene.
Sponsored by Banco do Brasil
and supported by the Rouanet Law, the exhibition promises a unique experience
for the public, who will be able to explore creativity, humor, and social
issues through accessible and contemporary language. After its run in São
Paulo, the exhibition will travel to Brasília, Belo Horizonte, and Rio de
Janeiro, reaffirming its national relevance.
Come discover and celebrate
the world of memes in the exhibition “MEME: in the Brazil of memefication” and
