/ref> Duarte is inspired by the Surrealism, surrealist tradition and the originality of his work resides in the fantastic colors and in the richness of details that he uses. 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. During the 1980s, he befriended the Italian artist and philosopher Joseph Pace, founder in Paris of Filtranisme, a Existentialism, neo-existential philosophical and artistic current, joining, in 1990, the enlarged "filtranistes" group. Due to a leak in the roof of his artist studio at Spring Street during a summer storm in the late 1990s, much of his work was destroyed; it is rare to find analog works before this period. He authenticates his works with a Fingerprint, thumbprint. Duarte focuses his personal expression interpreting freely sacred and profane themes. From 2005 to 2015 he collaborated as curator for Brazil for the Florence Biennale and for the Padua Art Fair.
