João Coelho

Always children, always friends

A dismembered toy they luckily find at the dump is enough to make them children again. They have learned from an early age to be adults in this sad, gray world in order to survive, but they also know that they have to help each other because they are friends forever.

About Artist

João Coelho

Human condition has always fascinated me and its study has been a main driver in my work. More than an aesthetic purpose, I intend my photography to arouse feelings, emotions, and convey messages, by telling stories that depict suffering or joy, despair or mutual help, strength or disappointment, or simply resilience in the face of adversity and uncertainty about the future
