Paisagens humanas

Abstract

This dissertation intends to discuss my artistic poetics and how my body of work is thought, motivated by tides of memory and affection. The dissertation is divided in three chapters, each one dealing with a language that I believe to be important in my artistic production and explores how they cross each other. I begin writing about drawing. Starting with the idea that everything I do is drawing, therefore, every gesture made by me is a development of the act of drawing, including writing. In this first part of the dissertation, I intend to discuss works more focused on drawing and what drawing means to me. Still in this chapter, I remember important facts that became essential to my works. Those memories take me to the second chapter, in which I develop better my relationship with the city and the music. In this chapter, I discuss in more detail my ideal of a visual sample. I have worked this concept of visual sample since the beginning of my graduation, but it is in this part of my dissertation that it will be explored in depth. Finally, the third and last chapter talks about my production, focusing on the paintings. The paintings emerge as an unfolding of what we saw previously, being, for me, more than a simple language, but a way of seeing the world. Thus, the Human Landscapes emerge
