Entretons Painting

"Let us go in; The fog is rising. "Emily Dickinson's verses could serve as an invitation to the viewer to get lost in the" Entretons "by Flavia Pinheiro. Because, with its elongated brushstrokes, the subtlety of its chromatic modulations creates a small labyrinth of sensations, on the border between an almost impressionistic evocative and musical abstraction, and a metaphysical and silent landscape figuration. Suspended in a gravity woven by tensions of tonal contrasts, a blue rectangle to the right floats like a vertex from which emanates the promise of a deeper labyrinth within the other, the fruit of harmonics and overtones like an arrangement inherited from Whistler or a play by Debussy. This rare musical, interdisciplinary and perceptive sensibility, already demonstrated by the artist in other works, finds, in "Entretons", its synthesis, its highest point of balance between the subtle and the ecstasy. The extreme harmony of the superimposed bands of colors creates, as in a labyrinth of mist and emptiness, a game in which weights and lightness that take turns, envelop, hide and reveal at the same time intensity and subtlety in a simple composition, and for that reason, much Suitable to the richness of each nuance of chromatic sounds and flavors. Color as music to the eye. (Jorge Padilha)
