Biography
Luiz Henrique da Rocha Azevedo was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1955 but living in Petropolis his childhood and adolescence. He early developed an appreciation for drawing, sustained mainly on the comics illustrations made by Alex Raymond, Harold (Hal) Foster or Ray Moore.
During the 1970's this appreciation extends to oil painting as his first works arose under the guidance of a lovely lady, Dona Marina, as he so called her. It was in the afternoon of his youth, among his circumstantial friends, that his figurative painting would be born. His painting gives way to his chosen profession for over 23 years until it regains its place. But his need for getting his old suitcase back would return and he would work on what made him feel good. He attended classes of important national artists ( José Geraldo Fajardo and Renato Ferrari ) where he learned and matured not only his technical, related initially to the Flemish school of Rembrandt and Ruisdael, the Spanish painter Meléndez but also his appreciation for the Impressionists.
He was not just chasing the search for technical improvement but also a thematic identification that could give him both a private and plural sense to his manifestation. It was not an easy task, but in this process, he gathers up to a state that makes him good: concerned about the lines, the shadows, the harmony between lines and colors, he feels at home. His old home. Over the years, he took part in exhibitions and held a solo. Currently continues to develop his art, becoming more personal.
