STATEMENT OF THE WORK I remember it was a winter's evening, close to my birthday. I was in my old bedroom when I decided to pick up my red folder in which I keep various sketches I've drawn during my journey, including my teenage years. I sat down on the bed and began to leaf through each one. Looking at my sketches, I noticed a pattern. At certain times I always went back to sketching different looks. At that point, I began to think: what was the reason I was drawing them? After concentrating on my silence, I had an insight. I concluded my thoughts with the certainty that each and every look has a valuable power in commonꓽ to express feelings and words. We are capable of expressing ourselves through a simple look, without even needing to babble or open our mouths. And it's magical how through our gaze we have the power to reflect the purest depths of our being, even if we don't want to. This is a natural and spontaneous occurrence, just like my creative process. It was then that I realized the harmony that, until a minute ago, had made me draw them unconsciously. Inspired by my old strokes, I materialized this work. For the first time I allowed myself to let the spatula direct the movement of my hands, giving shape and texture to the contours of my eyes. It was an incredible experience that delighted me in every detail of this unique creative process.
SIMBOLISM OF THE WORK (Framed reflection) Art soothes the brain by absorbing the colors of the universe through fixed eyes, which in all their forms bring us colorful figures with the result of their actions: the sunset, the twilight and the lack of light that adorn the stars, the sacred night. Don't close your eyes to beauty. It's only through them that we bring joy through colors to strengthen our physical constitution. A glance at a look transcribed onto paper fulfills our situation of joy. The sensation of beauty is abstract in this work Fixando o Belo. PUBLICATION In November 2019, it was published in the Art International Contemporary Magazine Catalogue, Lisbon/Portugal
