Stephan Doitschinoff (aka Calma) is a self-taught artist based in Bahia and São Paulo, Brazil. As the son of an Evangelical minister, Stephan spent his entire childhood absorbing the visual vocabulary of religious art. As an artist, he has developed his own unique language and style through imagery that creatively combines Afro-Brazilian folklore with Baroque religious iconography, as well as Alchemical and Pagan symbolism. From 2005—2008, Stephan Doitschinoff traveled throughout the Brazilian countryside of Bahia, painting site-specific murals on adobe houses, chapels, and even a cemetery. In the small village of Lençóis, he collaborated with local artisans, and expanded his research into the rich history of Brazilian folklore and the syncretism between Christian theology and African spiritual traditions. His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in the United States, Brazil, and Europe. http://www.stephandoit.com.br

STEPHAN-  Please tell a bit about yourself, were did you grow up, where do you live and what’s your day like, where do you spend most of your time?
PACOLLI- I grew up in Sao Paulo and i live in Pinheiros, my neighbourhood is sweet there's a lot of music and art going on everywhere. I try not to wake up too late, but there's no rule.. then i put some music, make coffee, feed my cats, check email and the rest depends on what i have to do. i work at my apartment so here's where i spend most of the time. i like hanging out in the hood, there's a small cafe nearby i go there all the time to draw, see people and of course drink coffee. i am more productive at night, it's easy to procrastinate during the day 'cause there's so much stuff to do. at night everything seems easier.
