The work participated in the exhibition "A Cor do Tempo", an individual by the artist in September 2025, at the Centro Cultural Correios Rio de Janeiro, curated by Paula Plee.
In this small format painting, I start from the idea of a "song" - this meeting point between plans that interests me as a structure and as a metaphor. Here, space is built from colors that seem to support the place: yellow and pink form the walls, blue and brown define what is on the ground floor, and the lilac creates a passage line between them. I like how these colors, although simple, create an ambiguous feeling. It is as if we were seeing a photographic record - or memory - an attentive look in search of fixing something that time takes, probably something of the silence and the ethereal present in the daily life that goes unnoticed.
