Pedro Pires (b. 1978, Angola) creates sculptures and paper works that incorporate a wide range of mediums, from everyday objects like plastic containers and rafia brooms to industrial metal grinders. Pires' practice works to draw out the utilitarian histories of mass-production and exploitation embedded in these items, as well as to explore questions about stereotypes and identity.

Pires obtained a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (London) and was awarded the Fine Art Erasmus Scholarship from the University of Athens. His works have been included in various solo and group exhibitions across Europe and Africa. Most recently, Pires' work was exhibited as a part of the Lorne Sculpture Biennale in Lorne, Australia, and From Africa to the Americas: Face-to-Face Picasso, Past and Present, at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Graduated in 2005 with a BA in Sculpture by the Fine art Faculty of Lisbon, Portugal.
