Eduardo Sued, born in Rio de Janeiro in 1948, graduated in Engineering from the National School of Engineering in Rio de Janeiro. In 1949, he studied drawing and painting with Henrique Boese, and between 1950 and 1951, he worked as a draftsman in Oscar Niemeyer's office. In 1951, he moved to Paris, attending the La Grande Chaumière and Julian academies, where he encountered the works of masters such as Picasso, Miró, Matisse, and Braque.

Returning to Rio in 1953, he studied metal engraving with Iberê Camargo, later becoming his assistant. He taught drawing and painting at the Escolinha de Arte do Brasil, and in 1957, moved to São Paulo to teach at the Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado until 1963. He returned to Rio in 1964, where he published "25 Gravuras" and maintained a career distanced from artistic movements, focusing on geometric abstraction and constructivism influenced by Mondrian and Bauhaus.

During the 1970s, Sued leaned even more towards constructivism, working with large chromatic areas and seeking plasticity. He views painting as an intellectual, solitary, and meditative endeavor, and remained distant from the disputes between concrete and neo-concrete artists, as well as discussions about the new figuration of the 1960s.

The achievement of a public dimension is seen as his most significant contribution to Brazilian painting, surpassing the intimacy of other modernists. His works are recognized for their precise, impersonal structures, and an approach that projects the space of the painting outward, through varied fields of color.

Sued never crystallized his abstract language into preconceived structures. In the 1990s, he introduced new elements, such as aluminum paint and thick, discontinuous brushstrokes, and revisited collage, exploring relationships between light, surface, space, and time in painting. His work reaffirms his position as a constant innovator in Brazilian art.
