"MAO Blue"

The work of the artist Almir Reis has an impressive strength that enhances the environments in which it is placed with great beauty and harmony.

One of the greatest characteristics of Almir's work is its ability to fill those who contemplate it with light and joy. This authorial work, filled with refinement and contemporaneity, is the result of the pure soul of this artist.

The art of Almir Reis is a rich and varied universe of inspirations, experiences, and cross-references, both chronologically and geographically. It is a vibrant and flourishing artistic production founded on a thematic and technical "assemblage" that Almir spontaneously and masterfully masters. His exceptional command of various techniques and his relentless pursuit of the contemporary give rise to an effervescent, complex, and surprising journey as an artist. His works will always be artistic landmarks that captivate us, precisely due to their concept and the brilliant aesthetic result of his creations.

Almir Reis is, for me, an example of contemporary art. His plurality, sense of aesthetics, and balance expose his memories and constant restlessness in his creations. Bravo always!!

The art of Almir Reis is a gift to the Cariocas, who carry on a love affair with their city. The artist deftly explores the seductive angles of the city, adding unique touches of beauty through use of resources that only one with the courage to mix photography with other art forms can access. The result is a re-invention of the Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvelous City), a city that lists Almir Reis as one of the outstanding photographers of Rio de Janeiro - on the same level as Marc Ferrez, Augusto Malta, Ricardo Azoury, Marco Terranova, and Zeca Linhares, among many others.
