Memórias: a fotografia familiar como suporte investigativo na pintura

Abstract

The poetic creation is a means of reflection and construction of memories, whose the approaching is characterized through the practice of paintings and researches made in the painting studio 1336 of the Federal University of Santa Maria. They are autobiographical and says about what I consider to be intimate and familiar, both people, objects and places, that is, everything that has instigated me for this research. The black-and-white photographs and old monocles are the starting point, as well as old objects, places I have frequented and recorded, capturing images, essences and feelings, which become research motifs in painting, mixing some of these memories from familiar photographs of 3rd and 4th generation. The approach also emphasizes costumes and autobiographical culture of those who predate me. From cultural experiences in Portugal, through academic mobility, I mix my memories in my work and with everything I consider familiar, contributing to future research in painting from experimentations of materials and supports. Investigations have resulted in a series that encompasses vast memories which to me, is singular and striking.
