Chico Bicalho was born in Rio de Janeiro and studied at an elementary
school where the football field had trees throughout, because the school
was against cutting them down. Later he moved to Petropolis, RJ, an area
surrounded by the South Atlantic tropical rainforest.
He believes in having a spiritual life, in freedom, and in peace; supports
the theory that the earth is one living thing and feels that humans should
understand nature, live with nature, and be equal to nature; received
a BFA in sculpture from RISD and MFA in photography NYU; since 1995 has
been working with a group of friends on reforestation projects replanting
native South Atlantic tropical rain forest trees.
Chico lives in Rio with his wife, a graphic designer/industrial designer
called Isabella Torquato. He wants to keep traveling, making art, and
planting trees. |
