SERIGRAPHY

The drawings (matrices) were made during the period I spent in artistic residency at Alto Residency @altoresidency, located at @maririjunglelodge in Chapada dos Veadeiros GO, at the end of 2018. I was in the middle of the forest for two months, invited by the institution. The intense contact with nature inspired an unforgettable personal and creative journey. At night the animals made crazy sounds, it was like a very powerful experimental orchestra. At the beginning of the stay, in order to 'calm down' and get to sleep, I dotted the paper, from inside my cabin made of wooden walls and net with a plastic roof. I could see the moon all night and the fireflies would wake me up at night with their light. There was a spider the size of my (open) hand that lived in the corner of the bathroom and over time we became best friends. This may seem like hell but it was a wonderfully transformative experience and I have been developing projects from there until today.
