The Little Big World of Flavio Papi began to take shape early in his childhood, when he first started producing models and miniature sculptures. At age six, he began drawing with Augusto Rodrigues at the "Escolinha de Artes do Brasil," followed by a period at the MAM under Ivan Serpa from age seven to twelve. His architectural background—as he is an architect in addition to being a visual artist and model maker—greatly benefited his small-scale projects. Today, Flavio Papi is considered the foremost Brazilian model maker, boasting an extensive and distinguished portfolio of work for advertising, film, and television (including TV Globo, the defunct Manchete, and Record). On February 9, "The Little Big World of Flavio Papi" will open at the Centro Cultural Correios RJ. Curated by Dinah Guimarães, the exhibition offers a retrospective of his more than 60-year career, bringing together drawings, paintings, sculptures, and models.
