Mário Pires Cordeiro is an American-Portuguese artist residing in San Francisco, CA. He received his MFA at Chelsea College of Art and Design at the University of the Arts, London and completed three years of a PhD researching color trends in fine arts. He has been commissioned by the Olympic and Paralympic Games Committee and the Cape Farewell Foundation and exhibited in more than 40 solo and group exhibitions. Pires Cordeiro’s art develops the relationship between fine art and design, commenting on the interaction between visual art and functional objects through experimentation in media and color. Color is his main focus, unpacking the symbolic and cultural meanings imposed on it in contemporary society by sourcing colors from trends and design forecasts as well as from particular environments or publications. He works with a variety of media from painting and sculpting to film and 3D printing.
