Concepts

1- Using drawing and painting as main reference, this work flirts with the universe of contructivist art, projecting on a monumental scale, the geometric elements common to the modernist architecture of the city of Brasília.

2- The clash between nature and artifice concentrates my major interests in contemporary art. This intervention sets a dialogue between both the real and the metaphorical elements that compose an open air space and an artistic space.

3- I have been working with synthetic materials since my masters degree, in 1997, always celebrating/questioning the artificial and the non-natural character of art.

4- Since 2003, I have also directed my attention to the space occupied by art, literally, and the interaction between space and audience.

5- All my work is inspired by childhood.
