Jardim Painting

My paintings manifest my intrigue for the rawness and authenticity of primitive, anthropological visual art, music and language. Oppositely, they also relate to street art: As an artist and architect, I am attracted by streetscapes for their scale and very universal, accessible, common place status quo. I see the street as our common living rooms in the cities, and reference to the organically formed, even dirty public realm complement my visual language, framing references to architecture. I value spontaneity and improvisation and accord the highest importance to the process. I let my body movements record freely my impulses responding not to narrative, not to content per se. Rhythm, movement and tempo vary across the length of the painting, when brush, fingers and limbs record energetic and often performative body movements. When words emerge spontaneously, these are transmitted to the canvases without judgement. This piece, Jardim (garden in Portuguese), emerged as a tool to evoke worn-out memories of common places in the urban environment, especially those small green pockets in the urban realm which give us some breathing space in the manic life of big cities.
