Meet "Suadinho"
(Meet "The Sweaty")
Through this character, André Gola has been drawing about life since 2013, and along his journey, he has found a deeper meaning through a strong connection to his own health. Since then, he has dedicated a portion of his life to sharing with people how art can assist us in living better.
Below, you can watch two mini-documentaries that share a bit of this story.

“We've been wanting to introduce you to Brazil-based artist André Gola whose deft drawing brings to life clever and witty character designs that comfortably infiltrate animation, product design, photography, murals, and other public interventions. Gola built a long career as a successful art director working with advertising agency for 20 years, but a recent series of paintings, drawings, and embroidery on canvas finally 'spilled the glass' for us.”
“Nobody talks about heart and mind better then Suadinho,
who is not the creation of Gola’s mind, it’s his mind itself.”
