Manoel Godinho

Manoel was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1946. In 2001 he started attending the painting and sculpture studios at the Museum of Images from the Unconscious, showing great interest in the activities. He draws and paints with ease, with a sharp sense of humour and creativity. One of his favourite themes are mandalas, having highly organized structures with harmonic colours.

About his experience in the studios, he says: “I don’t know what happened to me, it seems that I started to create some self-worth inside myself, then I started to get closer to people, and so I started to feel good about myself.”
