EDILBERTO LIMA is an architect and urban planner actively engaged in urban planning. He is a professor at IFPA, coordinating technical training courses in Design, and has always maintained a close relationship with the visual arts, participating as an evaluator and in the development of projects for the performing arts and advertising work.
His passion for watercolor painting dates back to his academic training in Architecture in the early 1970s, when architectural and urban projects were presented using painting techniques. The sea and boats have been part of his life since childhood, through family holiday trips to islands within the Amazon River basin, where a wide variety of vessels are used for regional transportation.
Always fascinated by wooden boats, he had the opportunity to frequent shipyards and, as an urban planner, developed and followed projects for docks and landing structures, such as the Arapari pier in the municipality of Barcarena. This path eventually led him to take courses in Naval Architecture, further deepening this long-standing passion.
