sunday morning wonderings
On this day, seven years ago, I lost my brother in a motorcycle accident. I miss him [a lot]. I wonder how his life would be now, what he would be doing, how proud he would be to know i´m following my heart and my dreams, choosing the not so easy path of painting for a living.
This painting has something to do with moments that will not be lived. It´s called Velhice (aging, aeldredom) and it was a guess about how my life would be if my marriage continued. Different perspectives and tastes would lead us to different doors? A life together, but separately? Unecessary noise, self imposed silence? Getting fat and old, collecting patches of colors that I would never live myself. The easy path, but not so easy after all. Life is a matter of choice. Fortunately I can see that now and choose self love, self steem, self awareness… happyness.
I can choose what I want.
I know what I miss.
And life goes on. Painting and wondering on a lazy, cold and lonely sunday morning.
what are we all waiting for?
I just realized that this 3 paintings were a sequence after all…
Not only the confusing and colorful background, nor the ladies, nor the wooden floors.
They are all waiting or expecting something.
They are all envolved at a simple situation, but in deep thoughts.
When I paint I do not plan the image. It grows just before my eyes and hands, just like that.
And they tell me a story, later, that revails a lot about life [myself?]
That´s why it´s so much fun… it´s the inside out that makes sense.

Once upon a time…
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…
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.
