Read MoreDoria Manoel (b. 1992, Brazil) is a visual artist and architect whose practice operates at the structural and poetic boundaries of the line.
Based in Brazil with an active presence extending to New York, his work encompasses ink and graphite drawings, digital design, printmaking, and large-scale architectural interventions. Rooted in the tension between organic forms and geometric rigor, he approaches the line as the primary unit of a formal grammar, where a single mark is capable of generating volume, mass, and weight through accumulation, whether on paper, fabric, or physical space.
His recent trajectory includes being awarded Best Drawing for Transeuntes Digitais (Digital Passersby) at Eurarts Gallery (Portugal, 2024), alongside solo exhibitions and installations such as Infinito a Infinito and Pequenos Deslumbres. In 2018, his international reach began as the official designer for the Off Cairo Art Biennale.
Across a decade-long career as an architect and designer, Doria Manoel has authored major projects in Brazil, driven by the foundational principle that the line, if taken far enough, can become habitable.
