Fluid mechanics researcher and painter
About
Engineering and painting as parallel practices.
Vitor Cunha is a Brazilian painter and engineer based in Norway. His visual practice explores perception and materiality through figurative surrealism and abstraction.
Alongside painting, he is a fluid mechanics researcher at PoreLab/NTNU, studying nanoscale phase change, interfacial transport, wetting, and capillarity.
My practice moves between scientific inquiry and painting, both centred on uncertainty, interfaces, and transformation.
In research, I investigate nanoscale liquid-vapour transitions and interfacial transport. In painting, I work with layered matter and unstable forms that resist clean resolution.
