Born in Santana do Araguaia (PA), and living in Parauapeba (PA), Yure has a degree in mathematics, but has never worked in the area. Instead, he has devoted himself exclusively to art. He started painting when he was still a child, learning in a self-taught way. Art became his passion, but he put it aside in adolescence only to take it up again some years later. For 11 years, Yure has now been working with oil painting. He draws his influences from street art. He is engaged in constant learning and is attentive to the artistic references acclaimed on the national scene. His main inspiration is the Amazon with its visual ethnic richness and immense biodiversity.
