ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Tropicália, also known as Tropicalismo, was a Brazilian artistic movement that arose in the late 1960s and formally ended in 1968. Though music was its chief expression, the movement was not solely expressed so, as it enveloped other art forms such as film, theatre, poetry and visual arts. In this work, in acrylic and oil pastel on canvas, I looked for stylistic influences and reconfigured them with a new pictorial language, above all the expression of color contrasts, deconstruction of shapes and accentuation of volumes. I am grateful for the influence of names like Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Clark, Lygia Pape, Ivan Serpa and Carlos Vergara.

Nascido no Rio de Janeiro em 06/07/1969, ainda criança me tornei autodidata na pintura. Durante muito tempo absorvi conhecimento da história da arte e experimentava diversas técnicas e estilos de pintura, fazendo cursos e “workshops” para aprimorar meu trabalho, o que gradativamente me proporcionou vislumbrar novos caminhos a serem trilhados. Após essa fase ainda consegui pintar alguns quadros, que nunca foram postos à venda, pois quase todos foram doados a parentes e amigos. Fiquei bastante tempo num deserto criativo, pois meu emprego consumia todo tempo disponível, o que me impedia de fazer o que mais gosto, que é pintar. No ano de 2020, em decorrência da pandemia, além de retornar com os trabalhos de pintura, resolvi cursar uma graduação em Artes Visuais, o que para minhas obras vai gerar novas oportunidades e abrir novos horizontes. Born in Rio de Janeiro on 07/06/1969, as a child I became self-taught in painting. For a long time I absorbed knowledge of art history and experimented with various painting techniques and styles, taking courses and workshops to improve my work, which gradually allowed me to glimpse new paths to be taken. After this phase, I still managed to paint some pictures, which were never offered for sale, as almost all of them were donated to relatives and friends. I spent a lot of time in a creative desert, because my job consumed all the time available, which prevented me from doing what I like most, which is painting. In 2020, due to the pandemic, in addition to returning with painting work, I decided to take a degree in Visual Arts, which for my works will generate new opportunities and open new horizons.
