Playing career
Born in Rio Branco, Acre, Artur spent the vast majority of his career in Portugal after starting out professionally at Clube do Remo. He signed in 1992 with Boavista FC, scoring 13 times in 25 games in his first season to help his team to the fourth place.
In the 1996 summer, after 29 league goals in his last two years combined, Artur moved to Porto neighbours FC Porto, going on to win six major titles during his three-year spell, including three Primeira Liga championships in a row. On 18 September 1996 he was one of five players to find the net in a 5–0 away win against S.L. Benfica, with the domestic Supercup being conquered 6–0 on aggregate.
Artur returned to his homeland in early 1999, going on to make his Série A debuts at nearly 30 with Esporte Clube Vitória. He retired five years later, with his first club Remo.
Managerial career
Artur started working as a manager in 2007, with Rio Branco Football Club, to where he returned six years after on 20 August. He was sacked only one month later.
