The Berimbau Brazil by Rodolpho Rivolta is the ultimate convergence where contemporary art, provocative design, and the poetry of life itself merge into an object of visual devotion. In this exclusive collaboration with the acclaimed São Paulo visual artist, the berimbau transcends its function as an instrument to become a living, three-dimensional installation—a body that breathes, sings, and flourishes. An ultra-exclusive masterpiece created for collectors and high-culture enthusiasts seeking an imposing piece filled with symbolism, visual magnetism, and soul.
The Gourd as a Womb and Nest: Breaking away from tradition, the gourd (cabaça)—the classic resonator—becomes the shelter for a small bird meticulously positioned inside. It stands as the source and symbol of the sound born from within, transforming the gourd into a sonic womb, a sacred space of creation and origin.
Waves of Faith and Color: Senhor do Bonfim ribbons spread fluidly from the gourd and the base of the bow. Far more than mere adornments, they visually materialize sound waves in the air, expanding the instrument's resonance in the form of color, faith, energy, and ancestral vibrations.
High-Performance Hardware: Maintaining the precision signature of Berimbau Brazil, the piece features high-end tuning pegs discreetly embedded, guaranteeing perfect stability and steel tension, seamlessly marrying raw artistic expression with technical excellence.
Exclusive Gallery Series: A sculptural piece of monumental impact, accompanied by its respective numbered identification plate, ready to be suspended on the wall and crown any environment like a true museum piece.
Based in São Paulo, Rodolpho Rivolta is recognized for his pop, provocative, and contemporary approach. Following years of an acclaimed trajectory as co-founder of r² Studio—with works crossing the boundaries between art and design that are included in prestigious institutional collections like the FAMA Museum—the artist consolidated his aesthetic research into a powerful solo career. His work combines refined humor, social critique, and a strong visual appeal in formats that challenge traditional mediums, accumulating prominent exhibitions across the world's main art stages, including:
Miami Art Week (Red Dot) and NY Art Week (ArtExpo)
Collective Exhibitions in Venice (Recordum) and Florence (All of Us)
SP Arte (2023, 2024, and 2026 editions at the Gabriel Wickbold Gallery)
ArtRio and exhibitions at the highly regarded Kura (2024 and 2026)
At Berimbau Brazil, Rivolta subverts the material and dictates a new narrative: here, the song does not come solely from the vibration of the string, but from the heart of the nest itself. It is the sheltered bird that gives voice to the wood, as if nature itself were breathing life from the inside out.
With the preservation and absolute prominence this artwork deserves in mind, this special edition includes:
Premium Wall Mount: Specifically engineered so the instrument hangs suspended, revealing its full volume and the fluid movement of the ribbons like a living being on the wall.
Raw Canvas Bags: Exclusive protective covers made of raw cotton for the individual safeguarding of the musical bow and the sculptural gourd.
Selected 39cm bamboo drumstick (baqueta).
Custom bronze coin (dobrão).
"The work signed by Rodolpho Rivolta is one of the most profound and beautiful expressions to ever cross our catalog. It transforms the berimbau into a metaphor for a life that resonates. The contrast of the moving Bonfim ribbons with the delicacy and mystery of the bird hidden inside the gourd creates a magnetic energy. Having this piece in a space is not just displaying a high-end instrument; it is hosting a visual poetry manifesto that pulses through the spirit."
⚠️ Important Note: As an artwork involving a unique manual artistic intervention, delicate conceptual elements, and handcrafted processes, each piece maintains its own entirely exclusive visual and acoustic identity. The images are illustrative of the actual instrument.
