Eduardo Prado

A little about Eduardo Prado,
By Renata Cook, art critic.
I know Edu as much as you can know someone. Anyone who knows his work knows the soul of this artist, who has chosen glass as subject and media.  Since contact, in the 80's, with the work in glass in Long Acre Street, London, he fell in love with Studio Glass. 
After years of visiting artists all around the world, he produced and was curator of three major exhibitions in Brazil.  He visited more than 150 artists from Japan to Sweden, from the US to Australia and invited some of them to participate in international exhibits in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Those exhibitions were held in the most prestigious museum of South America, the MASP(Museum of Art of Sao Paulo) in Sao Paulo.  The result was fantastic; the number of visitors in the museum was the biggest in many years. As a result, Edu was invited by the museum director to organize live sessions of glass work in another art center near the museum.  He called his friends, a Canadian and an American glass artist, to come to Brazil and help to assemble a full functioning glass studio to give exhibitions and lectures live with the hot glass, for hundreds of interested artists of many kinds of art. When kiln glass was still unknown in Brazil, Edu, in 1990, went to Oregon, US, to study the art of "fusing" and "casting" glass.  Back in Brazil, he went to work with those techniques in a small studio at home.  Edu introduced the kiln glass art in his native country, teaching and participating in many art shows.  With international exposure he won awards in countries as far as Japan.
He has a very own personality, visible in its objects and sculptures.  The concern for perfection, new research, workmanship, design, and art.  His pieces are portraits of his soul.
