Pedro Chorão was born in Coimbra in 1945. A painter, he held a Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation grant for advanced studies in painting.
In 1976 he took part in the exhibition "Jeune Peinture Portugaise" at the Centre Culturel Portugais in Paris, where he exhibited again in 1978 alongside Justino Alves, in a show centred on works of an abstract leaning and part of the Foundation’s programme to present young Portuguese artists linked to it in Paris. The catalogue for his part included a text by Egídio Álvaro.
He also took part in the 1st National Printmaking Exhibition at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in 1977, in "Um Rosto para Fernando Pessoa. Obras de 35 Artistas Portugueses Contemporâneos", which toured Portugal and Brazil between 1985 and 1988, in the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s 3rd Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1986, in "As Últimas Décadas" at the Luís de Camões Museum in Macau and the 2nd Biennial of Art of the Azores and the Atlantic in Angra do Heroísmo, both in 1987, and in "Anos 70. Atravessar Fronteiras" at the Modern Art Centre in 2009-2010.
He is represented in the collection of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s Modern Art Centre, with works such as "Labirinto" (1982) and "Pintura" (1986).
