The Rampazzo Gallery

Rampazzo Gallery is an art gallery dedicated to the exclusive commercialization of works by Adeir Rampazzo, an artist whose career combines a solid advertising background, technical mastery, and constant dialogue with technological innovation. Although representing a single artist, the gallery brings together a wide diversity of languages, styles, and visual atmospheres, allowing for compositions that range from contemporary to classic, from conceptual to decorative. This aesthetic plurality enables the works to integrate harmoniously with different architectural proposals and interior design projects, offering artistic solutions capable of complementing and enhancing various decorative contexts.

An advertiser by training, Adeir always had drawing as his creative foundation. At the age of 14, he enrolled in the Panamericana School of Art in São Paulo, where he began the formal development of his visual language and deepened his study of composition, perspective, and artistic interpretation. Simultaneously, he also attended the Paulista Association of Fine Arts, also in São Paulo, during which time he decided to intensify his dedication, doubling his weekly class load with the aim of accelerating his technical improvement and expanding his artistic training.

During his career in advertising, he received national and international recognition for his illustration work, with awards in specialized industry annuals. In a competition for a cover design for an advertising annual, he was awarded a new Fiat car, consolidating his creative prominence in the field. It is worth noting that one of the judges was the historian and collector Pietro Maria Bardi, responsible for the creation of MASP – São Paulo Museum of Art.

Driven by an interest in technology, he was a pioneer in introducing the first computer to the creative department of the agency where he worked, anticipating transformations that would redefine the creative process in the following decades.

Alongside his advertising career, he developed authorial production exploring techniques inspired by oil painting, watercolor, and gouache, translated into the digital environment through drawing and creation software.

Currently, he integrates artificial intelligence into his creative process, combining technology with the mastery of classical fundamentals such as lighting, color, perspective, and spatial understanding. The result is works that move between the aesthetics of painting and photography, producing images with a strong visual presence and technical refinement.

Rampazzo Gallery represents this unique trajectory — where art, technique, and innovation coexist — offering the public works that reflect research, experience, and constant creative evolution.

Original Projects

In addition to his artistic production and career in advertising, Adeir Rampazzo developed authorial projects focused on the children's universe and emotional education, combining drawing, narrative, and human development.

ORELHINHA GANG

He is the creator of the "Turma do Orelhinha" (Orelhinha Gang) characters, with comic strips and children's activities published in over 20 newspapers in various Brazilian states. The success of the characters resulted in the licensing of products such as puzzles, beach buckets, stamp sets, socks, backpacks, chewing gum, magazines, and social expression cards.

THE POWER OF EMOTIONS

Driven by an interest in understanding and communicating the child's inner world, he created the website "opoderdasemocoes.com.br" (thepowerofemotions.com.br), a pioneering project that addresses children's emotional development through play, games, illustrated comic strips, educational activities, polls, and guidance for parents and teachers.

In this space, Adeir translates the "human internal" into images and characters, giving form to the invisible—feelings, conflicts, and emotional states—so that they can be recognized, understood, and integrated into the collective consciousness. By making visible what is often abstract, he contributes to expanding emotional perception and positively influencing attitudes and behaviors.

THE "É" GANG

The website also brings together other creative nuclei, such as "A turma do É - A Turma das Emoções" (The "Is" Gang - The Emotions Gang) and "O Poder das Emoções" (The Power of Emotions), expanding the proposal of socio-emotional education through artistic language.

Between 2011 and 2015, he worked as an emotional education teacher in extracurricular classes at Colégio Madre Alix, in São Paulo. With students from the 3rd grade of elementary school, he developed extracurricular activities using the characters from the Orelhinha Gang and the website's content, working on emotions such as shame, desire, and other fundamental dimensions of human formation.
