Activity: Fluid (Blind Self Portrait)

English: It's been a while since I've been doing fluid blind self-portraits of my face and I made some full-body attempts, but even after sharing some photos on Instagram and putting the drawings on the studio's wall I still have a lot of trouble understanding them as art. To tell you the truth I'm a…

FLOOD_ Symposium 2

English  At first, I wanted this video to be more poetic. A piece of art by itself. Almost a video statement that could account for presenting me as an artist. When I started putting my thoughts in order and in text format I felt a bit lost- how to summarize everything I'm thinking and building…

Full Body Blind Self Portrait

English: I still feel very uncertain about the value of these drawings as art, or whether they are just part of a process or a personal ritual. Yet I decided to resume my practice and try to take a step beyond what I had done before. Since I started this process of self-portraits my focus…

Low Residency 2018 and the Creative block

English: In the midst of an intense creative block with the phrase "you need to try harder" bombarding my head, I found myself in the middle of the most intense, most important and most fun days of the course: Low Residency. 10 days in which all the students are invited to participate in a series…

Leaking Art

English: At this moment I feel kind of strange writing words that are neither quotes nor referring to the theme Light in Art. From the moment I chose to venture into the MA and the London life, I knew that there would be a moment of finalization of my projects in Brazil, and the Mackenzie’s…

Blind self-portrait #4

English: (Draft)  Drawings between days 17.10-14.11.2016 From day 17.10, when doing the drawing number 29 I began not to look only at the lines of my face, but also at the light that marked it at the moment. Continuing the technique of the blind drawing I introduced the yellow color and marked in the drawing…

Sharing

English:  Once again I came across in a situation that made me think about the importance of exchanges and physical connections between people. On Saturday I and Ale we set off on an adventure to Woking at The Lightbox for the release of his comic book (Buddha Boy) in the graphic art fair Comiket of independent publications. Comic books…

Exposure

English: For some time I have been researching and understanding the Youtube as more than a platform for ephemeral videos and free content for a young audience, but as a platform for the creation and dissemination of works. After an intense weekend guided by the Devil Arcane and my good friend Jessica Tauane (who was here in…

Blind self-portrait #1

English: "The Blind Drawing is a work where the artist draws his perceptive movement of the object itself." "It's more a  perception's exercise that makes us more aware of the visible world, than an activity that aims to reach a final product." The blind Drawing is a technique in which the artist does not look…

First post syndrome

English: I spent days, weeks, to be able to write something here. I was never very good with words, I understand the world better with pictures. But, as I am rediscovering myself artistically I am trying to put me out of the comfort zone and I will do my best to express all forms. This…
