Filipe Canto & Castro (Luanda, 1970) is a Portuguese visual artist and multidisciplinary creator whose practice unfolds across the boundaries of visual art, film, performance and sound. His work proposes a sensory and philosophical investigation into the relationships between body, time and perception -transforming human experience into poetic and immersive matter.
With a career spanning more than two decades, Filipe has built a singular body of work that traverses both the field of artistic creation, production and direction of large-scale visual projects.
His experience leading a pioneering creative structure - recognised for its aesthetic consistency and leadership within the sector - has shaped a broad and mature vision of image, sound and presence, which today resonates in the immersive and meticulous nature of his work.
Moving between the visible and the invisible, the artist constructs sensory ecosystems where the viewer is invited to inhabit an expanded dimension of sensibility - a space where the body becomes a vessel for listening, vulnerability and transformation. His practice asserts art as a territory of passage and awareness - a field of experience that questions the boundaries between the aesthetic and the ethical, the intimate and the collective. As the founder and driving force behind independent initiatives devoted to education and contemporary creation, he reaffirms his commitment to art as a force for reflection and social transformation.
