Macaparana (b. José Souza Oliveira Filho, Pernambuco, Brazil, 1952) can find in his work a clear link with primitivism and African art or, at least, in the development and influence in the aesthetic and structural aspects of the same. It might seem something totally alien, given that the basic theoretical principles of the languages of concrete art that emerge without regard in his proposal seem to delve more into the aseptic of geometric forms than in the anthropological and sacred of ethnic art, but the relationship exists precisely because of a heritage raised from the geometric as an identity.
