Dário Pequeno Paraíso's work reflects his deep connection with his identity. Born and raised in Portugal, always felt a need to discover his origins and what happened in the colonial past. Son of immigrants from a former portuguese colony, he uses photography/video/poetry that intrigues the thoughts of the audience and a fearless research to understand the colonial past. "What happened? / "How can we go forward?"
Over the years between collaborations, solo and collective exhibitions, Dário Pequeno Paraíso, in recent years, has focused on documenting issues of identity and post-colonial identities.
