Once upon a time…

quintal de minas

There was, once, this girl…

but she was more than one, she was many.

She could quietly observe the movements of life.

She could dream and realize beyond impossibilities.

She could could sit and play as an innocent child.

or she could close herself in to a distant, dark and cold yard, waiting for expiration of time.

[The gate is not locked.]

Life is full of possibilities.

bed, breakfest and friendship…

bed and breakfest

This painting was made for my friends Adriana´s cousins: Ceci and Cleusa.

They live in White Plains, NY and they have by far the best bed and breakfest in the States…

even before they open it.

Love is an art printed in one´s eyes and gestures, voice and touch.

I (still) believe in love.

Find yourself

pra vocês

Many times, even in front of the mirror, we don´t see ourselves.

You are there. You can look at yourself ..but you don´t really see who´s there…

Find your inner child in here. I´m sure you can – if you only try!

Friends are the kind of family you can choose. Friends: I want them all.

Cats are classy, independant, self-aware, beautiful. Cats: I want to be like them.

Sometimes i feel like someone eternally waiting

for the letter that may never arrive

the love that will never come

the happyness that will never be

But then I feel the wind on my skin

the green fields from a distance

and the surprising colors, all over, everyday

and then I know: everything is,  indeed,  possible.

what should I say…

lenco-atras

have you ever done something you didn´t want to?

frustrated expectations are the source of all the pain

I wish I could sleep and dream of children playing

bright stars on a blue, clear sky

houses, mountains, laughter, happyness and love…

Are we all asking for the impossible? I hope not.

Naive – Naïve – Naïf

The room is empty. Is he coming back? Can I jump with no major damage to the furniture?

The expectations are immense…

will I be able to make a statement?

I need to paint to survive. I´m struggling. Is there anyone out there?

Is the room empty?
