Artist Biography

Self-taught in fine and commercial art and medical illustration, Carlos A.G. Machado trained and practiced medicine as a cardiologist in Brazil before his medical illustration talents took his career in a different direction. His skill and artistry in medical illustration came to the attention of Ciba-Geigy when they were looking for someone to continue the medical illustration program founded by Dr. Frank H. Netter. For over 20 years Dr. Machado has contributed to the Netter collection working for the companies that hold the rights of editing Dr. Netter’s works, most recently, Elsevier, Inc. Dr. Machado’s photorealistic painting expertise, his keen insight into the physician/patient relationship, and his teaching experience inform his vivid and unforgettable visual style and instructive illustrations. His dedication to researching each topic and subject he paints and his determination to present unique and didactic views places him among the premier medical illustrators at work today. On display are several of his hand-painted works that can be found in Netter publications like the *, the volume of the Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations, and †.
