Conrado Krainer

I am a Brazilian photographer whose work investigates the relationship between nature, the human condition, and the poetics of light and shadow. Currently, I’m developing a body of work centered on the metaphor and simbolism of flowers, exploring fragmentation, time, and the tensions between slowness and acceleration in contemporary life.
Over the past years, I’ve exhibited my work in galleries and cultural spaces in São Paulo, Barcelona, Rome, and Lisbon, and have received awards in national and international photography festivals. Parallel to my artistic practice, I also work as an atelierista at an international school in São Paulo, with a background in Visual Arts and Art Education.
 
 

Project Statement

My art emerges where nature becomes body and memory: flowers captured through the lens, immersed in the intense interplay of light and shadow. I explore ephemeral beauty as a metaphor for both the human and the botanical, seeking in the photographic gesture a moment of suspension between being and existing. Photography becomes both vessel and bridge—connecting contemporary portraiture and experimental media, weaving together technology, organic matter, and ancestral echoes.
I do not see flowers as decorative landscapes, but as symbolic witnesses of cycles that resonate across social and environmental layers. My practice, rooted in fine art and mixed media research, opens reflections on memory, absence, and presence—each petal a trace, each shadow a dual force.
My work reclaims art as a political act: a vigilant gaze, an ecological ethic, and an aesthetic in tension. Through flowers, I question life’s fragility and the silent power of resistance that continues to bloom.
