What/who inspired the work?
This work was inspired by the French Fluxus artist Robert Filliou's assemblaje "Autoportrait bien fait, mal fait, pas fait" (Self-portrait well done, badly done, not done), 1973.
What do you hope viewers will feel/ think?
I hope the viewers note the mystery that I tried to communicate in this piece. In "Robert Filliou # 2", the memory of Cândido Portinari's paintings as "Menino With Tabuleiro" (Boy with Board) is remarkable.
On the other hand, the factor this work is an oil painting on canas could be considered a response to Filliou's ideas about the "well done, badly done, not done". I invite you to compare the two works and take out some conclusion.
Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style?
I chose the oil painting medium because all these works make part of the "The Paintings Section from Davis Museum".
I would like to add something: this work has been carried out very quickly. I've been so lucky to hit the hue of blue, arrangement and rhythm of the strokes without any hesitation. It is very difficult to run a painting at the first strokes, but fortunately it sometimes happens.
