2025
Exhibition "Boca a Boca", at Espaço Fonte, in São Paulo, 2025.
The Heavy Metal series consists of a set of paintings made of aluminum shapes with oil paint, brushes, cloths, all steel bushes in a drill, among other tools. In a game of addition and subtraction, trying to stretch the painting time, making it more rhythmic and tensioning it like a field of apparitions. Aluminum, as it is a massive surface, withstands being skinned, scratched, painted, repainted, polished, sanded, scraped, erased and licked with the paint many times. These paintings have a kind of hoarseness and an acute glow.
