Pedro Casqueiro (Lisbon, 1959) lives and works in Lisbon. From 1981 to 1984 he studied Painting at Escola Superior de Belas-Artes de Lisbon (ESBAL).
His work is based on the exploration of different styles and visual languages from abstract and pop art to figuration through characters and signs, sometimes referring the pop imagery, up to the use of lettering and the painted word.
He has been regularly exhibiting in Portugal and abroad since 1981, taking part in solo and group shows in institutions such as Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian (Lisboa), Fundação Carmona e costa (Lisbon), Espaço Chiado 8 (Lisbon), Fundación Luís Seoane (La Coruña) and he represented Portugal in the 42nd Venice Biennale (1986).
