In past years the Lavagem Expo has given opportunities to various Brazilian artists to exhibit works in photography, fine arts, poetry, theater, fashion, music and dance.

Borba, from Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, initially became famous for his mosaics that are exhibited in several neighborhoods throughout Salvador. He also works in a variety of mixed media including acrylic paint, metals, digital renderings, ceramics and more. His work often has a humorous surrealistic quality.
