Heavily influenced by news, places and the people around him, Paulo Moreira is a keen observer of social issues. His work portrays daily issues, anchored in an esthetic universe that is connected to urban art with materials, art techniques and conceptual positioning. Also producing short film, installations and performances, Moreira introduces the plastics into his paintings. He draws inspiration from vastly different territories of Modern Art and Post Modernism: from Neoexpresionism to Pop Art, from Visual Poetry to the conceptual art of John Baldessari, from Marcel Broodthaers to Jenny Holzer, author of the famous phrase “Die fast and quiet when they interrogate you or live so long that they are ashamed to hurt you anymore” that Paul uses in some of his works.

"I try draw parrallels to my paintings and drawings through my videos. They have nothing to do with cinema. The image are diluted truning them into colours and stains. They are videopaintings!
