Bridging Cultures Through Paint: Amadeo Carvalho at King’s College
In a significant recognition of his artistic journey, Amadeo Carvalho has been invited to lead a painting workshop at King’s College London. Titled Creative Painting Workshop, the session invites participants to explore themes of identity, memory, and form through colour — rooted in the traditions and nuances of Lusophone cultures.
The artist announced the news on Instagram, calling it “an opportunity to engage with an international community of students and creators.”
Lusophone Identity Through Expressive Portraiture
Amadeo is known for his emotionally charged, gestural portraiture that evokes intimacy, resilience, and collective memory. His works often explore the intersection of personal identity and postcolonial narratives, creating space for reflection and connection.
This invitation positions Amadeo as not just a talented painter, but as a cultural ambassador, sharing Cape Verdean and broader Lusophone perspectives with a global audience.
The Power of Artistic Dialogue
King’s College London’s invitation affirms a growing appreciation for voices from Africa and its diaspora within institutional spaces. Amadeo’s workshop is more than a technical session — it is a cultural dialogue, a chance to explore the intersections of art, history, and belonging.
As African contemporary art continues to reshape the global art scene, artists like Amadeo Carvalho play a pivotal role in leading the way.
Afrikanizm Art’s Pride
At Afrikanizm Art, we are especially proud to see Amadeo reach this milestone. He was the first Cape Verdean artist to join our community — and it fills us with pride to witness his growth, his presence in internationally respected spaces, and the recognition he so rightfully deserves.
This moment is more than individual acclaim; it represents a powerful step forward in the celebration of Lusophone identity and African art on the global stage.
