Luiz, born in 1964 in the Brazilian city of Curitiba, embarked on his academic journey studying Mechanics, with a specific focus on technical drawing and projects. His love for the arts saw him graduating in 1985 from the State School of Music and Fine Arts with a Bachelor's degree, majoring in Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture.
For a decade, Luiz honed his craft as a professional artist. His desire to create and restore beautiful works took a new path in 2001, when he launched his own workshop. Here, alongside his talented team, Luiz has been creating and restoring violins, earning worldwide recognition for their exceptional work.
Building upon his successful career, Luiz, in 2018, alongside his associates, unveiled the latest expansion of his workshop – a new headquarters located in Cremona. His journey from a passionate art student to a globally respected artist and violin maker is a testament to his dedication and artistic prowess.
Luiz Amorim is a Brazilian maker based in Cremona with an impressive reputation roster of clients. He is particularly known for his cellos and has made instruments for well known players such as Daniel Muller-Schott and Antonio Meneses, to name a few. We are very pleased to have this Gofriller model cello in our showroom. The sound is powerful, with lots of overtones and it has a particularly impressive A string.
