Danilo Cunha, a Brazilian photographer and visual artist, lives in the city of Mogi Mirim, SP. He began photography in 2017 by chance, creating skateboarding videos in urban environments. Since then, the identity of his works has been taking shape, volume, and depth. Often loaded with social content, sometimes sarcastic and provocative, his works almost always evoke an immediate sense of identification.
His images capture the dynamics of the streets, emphasize the importance of women’s emancipation and relevance in society, and carry strong cinematic references, narrating everyday stories and placing street people as the main protagonists.
Danilo Cunha is spontaneous, involuntary, and sincere, just like his works.
Among the various techniques he uses, he employs his own photographs as the basis for stencils, aiming to draw attention to individual self-acceptance by highlighting words that provoke such reflections.
His main influences are Jean-Michel Basquiat, Cy Twombly, Merz, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Daniel Melim, and Obey Giant.
