Biography
Self-taught, he lives and works in Sao Paulo.[1] Between 1972 and 1974, he worked as an actor in television advertisements for Campari and Nestle.
Due to the military dictatorship in Brazil, in 1976 he moved to London where he worked as assistant to Rex Features International Photographic Press Agency.
As freelance photographer, he followed the pop music groups[2] The Who, Tangerine Dream, Genesis, Deep Purple, ZZ Top. In 1977 Brazilian magazine Geração Pop (Editora Abril) features a series of pictures he captured in London of The Rolling Stones. Soon after, between Europe and South America, he collaborates with a range of magazines, Interview, Playboy, Vogue, Sony Style, (1978– 1990). Within those years he joins The Image Bank, Getty Images (1980 - 2005) and he is featured in photography art magazines[3] Collector's Photography U.S.A., Zoom France, Zoom Italy, Newlook France, Newlook U. S. A., Newlook.
As Multimedia artist, since 1970, participated in the visionary exhibition "New Media Art Multimedia 70/80" with the triptych Video Oil at Armando Alvares Penteado Foundation, curatorial Deysi Piccinini and the exhibition " The plot of Taste " another look at the daily, at the Julio Plaza installation " Electronic Amusement " with the project " Video Hypnosis " at the Biennial Foundation, São Paulo, 1987. Duarte evolved his work adding new technologies and techniques with digital images, electrophotography, Xerox art[4] conceptualizing artistically the reading of DNA and also in the future, the writing of DNA. To his portraits he sewings strands of hair of the models to allow them a future cloning.[5]

The model Gianne Albertoni is a part of the series that is featured in the permanent collection of museums in Europe and South America. The series is denominated by the artist as "Eletrografias e Fotografias com Fios de Cabelo para Futura Clonagem" (Electrophotographs and Photographs with Human Hair for Future Cloning), BioArt.[6][7]
Duarte is inspired by the surrealist tradition and the originality of his work resides in the fantastic colors and in the richness of details that he uses.[8] Irreverent, but never dramatic, with a playful irony, Duarte's works are constantly moving, dancing, flying, stretching, as if they are to expand out of the frame.[9]
During the 80s, he befriends the Italian artist and philosopher Joseph Pace, founder in Paris of Filtranisme, a neo-existential philosophical and artistic current, joining, in 1990, the enlarged "filtranistes" group.[10]
Due to a leak in the roof of the studio artist at Spring Street during a summer storm in the late nineties, much of the work was destroyed, it is rare to find analog works before this period.
He authenticates his works with a thumbprint.
Sergio Valle Duarte focuses his personal expression interpreting freely sacred and profane themes. From 2005 to 2015 he collaborates as curator for Brazil for the Florence Biennale and for the Padua Art Fair.
