Moisés Patrício (1984, São Paulo. Lives in São Paulo) is a visual artist, photographer, and priest of Afro-Brazilian tradition. His trajectory is marked by the intersection of art, spirituality, and Black identity. His work moves between painting, photography, performance, and installations, bringing ancestry and the culture from the terreiro (space of worship and community in Afro-Brazilian religious traditions), as foundations of his practice. His activities go beyond the limits of the terreiro, fostering dialogues between art, philosophy, and spirituality. He is a member of the Artistic Advisory Board of the Pinacoteca de São Paulo. He has participated in the Dakar Biennale, and in exhibitions at MASP and Museu Afro Brasil (São Paulo), and Instituto de Pesquisa e Memória Pretos Novos (Rio de Janeiro), among others.
