Born in Brazil in 1976, Lin Lima is a visual artist whose practice operates across two interconnected research fields. The first is a sustained investigation into organic textures, executed through drawing directly on walls, glass, paper, canvas, and wood. The second is the production of assemblages built from carpenter's pencils -- an unexpected material that pulls his work toward the territory of kinetic art while simultaneously introducing topographic and architectural references.Rooted in the visual logic of Suprematism and Minimalism, Lima's work subverts those movements' rigidity from within. The carpenter's pencil -- a tool designed for precision and instruction -- becomes in his hands an object of deviation. The resulting works reflect on the nature of living: never strictly linear, never simply rule-following, but constantly bending, mixing, and redirecting its own course.His 2025 exhibition Carpinturas -- a portmanteau of carpenter and painting -- was presented at the Centro Cultural dos Correios in Brazil, curated by Thiago SMF. He lives and works in Brazil.
