Américo das Neves
Américo das Neves is a Macanese designer born, raised and working in Macao. In his late teen years and early 20’s, he decided to take some adventure in United Kingdom, where he obtained the honours degree in Visual Communication at Kent Institute of Art and Design and gained his first professional experience in the country of the Three Lions. During his free time, he applied for different kinds of art and design competitions available online or in local media. Taking part in those competitions allowed him to experiment new things, explore crazy ideas as well as push himself to work harder. His greatest achievements so far include a toy design competition organised by Coca-Cola and Play Imaginative from Singapore, where his design was one of the 15 best designs chosen to be produced into real toy; in 2007 Macao Annual Art Exhibition, his artwork was awarded 10 best entry of the year, which also brought him to a joint art exhibition held in Beijing with other well-known Macao artists in 2008. In addition, he was also nominated by Perspective magazine in Hong Kong as one of the “40 under 40” (40 creative people under the age of 40 years old) artists/designers in the field of Graphic Design in 2008. Last but not least, one of the most recent design awards Américo received was 1st runner-up in a mascot design contest organised by Social Welfare Bureau of Macau S.A.R. Government, also in 2008. The list of his awards and achievements are growing continuously as he keeps himself busy. In 2007, Creative Macau invited him for a solo exhibition and he accepted this challenge immediately. “UNKNOWN – A miracle vision” by Américo das Neves is his first solo exhibition and is a series of creative characters in digital illustration printed on canvas which he had begun to work on since 2008.
