Flavia Mesquita

I was born in São Paulo - Brazil!
Still young I moved to Campinas/SP to study Art.
I am an artist in love with paper. Fascinated by its textures and colours, I put in my work of cuttings and interlacement my perception of life - that everything is manifested by warp and woof - of ideas, of activities, of lives - expressing in paper yarns, symbolically, the woof that each action produces.
My works expresses mainly the human relationships – what connects and what affects one another – every mood-swing, every feeling, one's beliefs, one's state of mind, the way one faces the world and life itself. All this in a very simple way of toying layers, putting some paper yarns under and across others.

I am graduated in Visual Arts by Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUCC) in 1981 and ever since have developed several artistic activities in the fields of sculpture, pencil paintings, tapestry, weaving, among others.
Being tapestry teacher for over 15 years, I realized that weaving does not depend on threads alone, but on ideas.
