The son of Jenner Augusto, he grew up among paints and brushes and trained at the UFBA School of Fine Arts. He began as a printmaker and moved through abstract painting, lyrical figuration, spray and paper laid on board, before returning to abstraction.
In 1974, aged 19, he took part in a group show in São Paulo; the following year he held his first solo exhibition at the Bahia State Museum. He has since shown regularly in Salvador, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Recife, Brasília, Belo Horizonte and Aracaju.
