Tiago Azevedo

In November 2017, Azevedo published his first book, which condensed details of the oil paintings from his first collection along with the original version of the Grimms' Fairy Tales.

Azevedo's debut exhibition was in Paris in 2015. Due to massive critical reception, Azevedo was invited to exhibit pieces of his first collection "Fairy Tales" in New York and Cannes on the following year. Azevedo returned to New York on the same year to exhibit his first oil paintings from his second collection "Religion".

Azevedo is one of the most popular YouTube painters. His first video was in September 2006, but it wasn't until February 2015 that he started to gain massive popularity. He began his YouTube channel in order to help artists escape the idea of the starving artist with which he does not identify himself. Along with a series of motivational videos, Tiago has created a web series about art history. Amongst his most popular videos are the biographies of Frida Kahlo and Titian. He also posts painting tutorials.

Tiago Azevedo (born April 9, 1985) is a Portuguese painter, part of the Lowbrow (or Pop Surrealist) art movement.
