Rooted in his Cape Verdean heritage, Carvalho’s
practice explores questions of memory, Black identity,
kinship, and the central role of Black women in shaping
social and affective structures.
Working across a wide range of media — including charcoal, screen printing, acrylic, volcanic pigments, handmade paper, transfers, and hand-drawn graphic elements — he creates richly layered and tactile compositions. Often anchored in his own photography, these works unfold as sensorial and narrative cartographies, where the convergence of word and image amplifies the aesthetic encounter and invites reflection and connection.
