ABOUT THE ARTIST

Born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in 1965, Hamilton Aguiar discovered his passion for creating at an early age. After moving to the United States in his twenties, he continued refining his artistic practice, developing a body of work distinguished by exceptional craftsmanship, technical precision, and a deep respect for the history of art.

Working from his Miami, Florida studio, Aguiar creates paintings and sculptures that reflect years of disciplined study and exploration. Hamilton’s work is unique. His work spans seascapes, landscapes, florals, abstract compositions, and sculptural forms, demonstrating remarkable versatility across a variety of mediums. Whether working with subtle chromatic transitions or bold contemporary color palettes, he has an exceptional ability to create the illusion of depth, light, and movement.

Aguiar’s work is informed by careful study of many of the great artists who came before him, while remaining distinctly his own. His compositions reveal a mastery of technique, meticulous attention to detail, and an ongoing curiosity to explore new materials, forms, and visual languages. This spirit of exploration is equally evident in his sculpture work, where precision, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design come together to create works that are both structurally refined and visually compelling.

Throughout his career, Aguiar has exhibited across the United States and Latin America. His paintings and sculptures are held in private and executive collections around the world, and his work has also been exhibited in museum settings.

Beyond his artistic accomplishments, Aguiar is known for his humility, generosity, and positive outlook, qualities that naturally extend into both his creative practice and the lasting relationships he builds with those around him.

Artist Statement:

“I want to show the beauty in its purity through my art; the beauty seen on the light hidden in the most pure things of life; and by looking at my art you will understand that all you need in life is to look at the simple things with your heart and see the beauty of its light.”
