This artworks are made up of paintings on paper. The paper from the medicine boxes that accompanied me, served me and granted my autonomy.
These works that I´ve been painting since 2012, they are the interior of those medication boxes. When opened and exposed they take the shape of a cross. I recognized them as pennants and the figures became emblems and insignia. Uncompromised with any materiality. They decorate the banners and are more suited to construct the symbolism and set an ambiance to personal secrets.
É nesse espaço branco da parte de dentro das caixas que, em pintura, figuras e símbolos
se desvelam fazendo um convite para embarcar
em uma pesquisa a respeito do sujeito
que habita o corpo.
As obras são o resultado de uma investigação intimista acerca do adoecer e do viver
com esclerose múltipla.
É uma documentação desse ambiente psíquico.
Uma fresta para o universo privado do artista.
Along this journey the connection with the disease became no longer the center of the story, but a starting point for a deeper investigation.
The banners represent milestones on the route. They are flags I have erected to record where I've been and also a mark to find my way back, in case it gets too dark.
They are allegories of a self-discovery. Delimitating borders, some friendly, some hostile, in a psychologic environment. Inventing escape routes and finding refuge in the void within the flesh.
