implosão Drawing

Selma Talema’s work reveals a deep sensitivity to the visual world, balancing intuitive gesture with graphic precision. Moving between vibrant abstraction and dreamlike compositions, her artistic practice is a continuous exploration of imaginary and emotional landscapes. Organic forms—fragmented or fluid—evoke sensory and affective memories, creating a dialogue between the symbolic and the tactile, the natural and the surreal. Influenced by botanical elements, invented geographies, and tropical atmospheres, the artist explores the tension between density and softness, spontaneity and structure. Her bold, intuitive color palette leads the viewer through layered narratives that are not meant to be explained—but felt. Each canvas becomes an invitation to enter a new mental landscape, where nature is not only a setting, but a language and a state of mind.
