Adriano Amaral’s work involves an examination of the nature of things in the world; the materiality and substance of what is around us as well as its value and transforming power over time. His practice starts from an intuitive and plural approach, and results in complex immersive installations that are always sensitive to the context in which they are inserted.​
​
​After completing his Masters at the Royal College of Art London in 2014, Adriano did a two-year artist residency at De Atelier in Amsterdam and then received the Mondrian Fonds Work Contribution Proven Talent in 2017.​
​
