KUNSTHAUS

Fabu Pires (BR/FI, b. 1978, Taubaté, Brazil) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Helsinki whose practice intertwines painting, textiles, and cultural research. Drawing from his Brazilian roots and life in Finland, he creates a symbolic visual language where imagined fauna, human figures, and iconic objects merge into layered narratives of memory, belonging, and transformation.

​

His work explores themes of identity, migration, hybridity, and the dialogue between humans and nature, often reflecting on freedom, community, and equality.

​

Alongside his artistic practice, since 2014 Pires has been active in social and research-based projects with migrant youth, founding Fuse Art Collective and collaborating with Myymälä2 and Kulttuuriyhdistämö Interkult to promote cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue.
