The Waste Land 1 Painting

In this painting, I depict elements of nature, focusing on birds and flowers of the Cerrado, including Picapau (colaptes campestris), Araçari (Pteroglossus), Arara (Ara ararauna), and Tucani (Ramphastos). Inspired by Sonia Delaunay and Mestre Ataíde, I incorporated a human figure amidst the scene to symbolize my artistic journey. My artistic process is rooted in notation drawing, derived from the verb "to note," signifying observation and discovery. Throughout history, the human body has been celebrated, but also reduced to a scientific object, particularly during the Dark Ages. Understanding the body evolved through practical studies and dissection, often treating it as a machine rather than acknowledging its organic complexity. Despite Leonardo da Vinci's efforts, full comprehension remained elusive. The transformation of the body into a machine and the rise of robotics underscore societal themes. Advancements in technology diminish the need for traditional artistic study of the body, yet aesthetic treatments and plastic surgery reflect contemporary desires for self-alteration and idealized appearance. This synthesis of nature, anatomy, and artistic exploration encapsulates my creative journey and vision.
