Quick biography of Eli Heil, artist from Santa Catarina

Self-taught, Eli Heil was born in Palhoça in 1929 and became a physical education teacher. However, from the 60s onwards, his artistic identity awakened. In other words, in his own words, “art is the expulsion of contained, painful beings, in large quantities, in a colorful birth”. As a result, his creativity transcended classifications. Therefore, she was invited to the 16th São Paulo International Biennial, her unusual work caused a stir, registered in the official catalogue.

Eli Heil's museum in Santo Antônio de Lisboa

Às margens da SC-401, em Florianópolis, especificamente em Saint Anthony of Lisbon, Eli built his universe: The Egg World Museum by Eli Heil, with more than 3 thousand works. Currently maintained by the artist's children.

At the age of 85, in 2014, MASC hosted Eli's last solo exhibition, a retrospective of more than five decades of production. As well, the relationship between Eli and MASC was long-lasting, with 14 solo exhibitions. In the 1960s, MAMF, the precursor of MASC, emerged. Therefore, Eli exhibited under the curatorship of Ylmar Corrêa Neto and Adriano Pauli. MASC, which celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2018, is one of Eli's many artistic legacies. His work is unique and transcends symbols, reflecting his spirituality.
