Statement
As a Brazilian artist living in Italy, my research delves into representing the passage of time and my identity through flora. Inspired by childhood memories that comforted me during moments of grief, I find in autobiographical events the inspiration to create floral compositions and bucolic scenes with a dreamy atmosphere, transitioning between figuration and abstraction.
The duality of life cycles shines through the juxtaposition of botanical elements, which carry the symbolism of a deconstructed personal diary. A nostalgic tone permeates my work, marked by the fusion of drawing and painting techniques reminiscent of the artistic materials I learned as a child, and which still today serve as an extension of my voice. In the color palette, I highlights various shades of pink, representing coziness, innocence, and resilience. The use of gold leaves, susceptible to oxidation, symbolizes the passage of years, emphasizing chance and the ephemeral nature of life.
By sharing my experiences expressed through the titles of the artworks, and the carefully chosen flora, my aim is to inspire the audience to reflect on their own experiences, question the fluidity of memories, their interpretations, and the imagination that permeates them. In the end, each artwork comes to life through the viewer’s individual perspective, exploring the multiple layers of the human experience and our relationship with nature and time.
