Self Portrait Door2013mixed technique

self-portrait door

The Self-portrait door has, in its internal side, a series of self-portraits

and in its external side three portraits of the artist made by

collaborators. Explanatory texts accompany the drawings and

paintings. The door is a metaphor of a transparent intimacy openness

(there is an inscription ‘room to draw’), which invites the viewer to get

to know the artist in an introspective way, through allegorical self

images and abstract concepts of the self.

Filho Veado2013installation with photography, mirror and drawings

deer son

The word for “deer” in portuguese refers

both to the animal and to a male

homossexual. The polysemy in the term is

the central point of the installation. It is

about dealing wth homossexuality in a

repressive family’s context.

The theme of copy/authorship is permanent in

my artistic investigation. This piece of work

consists in an assembly of copies made out of

varied Quino’s pieces and the unfinished lady is

a trial to copy Toulouse Lautrec’s La Toillet.
