Only one matrix - many different prints transformed in objects.
h: 45 w: 45 d: 1 (cms).
My research is based on the duality between the repetition of the image and the singularity of the work, created from its own repetition. It experiments with various materials and possibilities a matrix can generate, moving between two- and three-dimensional spaces. I work with concepts, producing well-defined series.Through this process, I create artist books, objects, and prints.The installations stem from my interest in occupying space, returning, in some way, to my training in architecture. However, the reference to printmaking is always present:printmaking/reproduction. PICOS were made with variations in shades, paper sizes, and total or partial prints from the same matrix. The images were cropped and then shaped, resulting in objects. Small installations were created. As the research continued, I felt the need to expand my work. I added silk screen prints for sizes up to 120 cm high. In this way, the Installations expanded.

Artist's Book
h: 27 w: 18 d: 1 (cms).
The MULTIPLE CHOICE series was developed to produce several books based on the installation PICOS. The various books have different characteristics and formats. Following the triangular shape of the PICOS, the book is presented with a traditional leaf, but in a vertical direction, from top to bottom. Each leaf can be turned, building and deconstructing a set of images, which alludes to a sequence of mountains. The printed sheets were sewn into a single volume. Drypoint printed double-sided on 180 gsm Hahnemühle paper, in a total of four sheets. Isosceles triangle - closed: 27.5 cm 18.5 cm. Cover in 120 gsm Hahnemühle paper with digital printing of the title and colophon. Edition: 3 copies São Paulo 2025

Artist's book in game form
h: 23 w: 27 d: 1 (cms).
A simple copper matrix motivated the transformation of an engraving into an object. Each copy contains two engravings, each with a different tonality. The engravings are presented with predetermined folds and cuts. The objective of the game is to create different objects from the two engravings. The winner is the one who creates the most options.
