Read Deladier Almeida's Biography

Born in Brazil, Deladier Almeida has lived in California since the mid-1980s, earning his Art degree from the University of California, Davis. Trained by renowned painters Wayne Thiebaud and Roland Petersen at UC Davis in the 1980’s, Almeida’s work marries the restrained quality of Thiebaud’s sleek style with Petersen’s more gestural brushwork, inspired and embraced by other Bay Area artists including David Park, Elmer Bischoff, and Richard Diebenkorn. He has exhibited his work at galleries, museums, and art fairs including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Caldwell Snyder gallery in San Francisco, the Campton gallery in New York City, the Bennington Center for the Arts in Vermont and the Albemarle Gallery in London.
