What Is Going On In My Studio!
For those who don’t know yet, I am originally from Brazil and have been living in Canada for the past 11 years.
In a recent trip back home, I visit this charming historic village called – Paraty.
It is a heritage site, where only horses, Man feet and bikes are allowed on the streets.
The buildings are almost all white, with colored trims and doors.
The streets are paved with huge cable stones, which makes walking there a big challenge.
It is all candy for the eyes of an artist, but what most caught my attention there, was the tide cycle.
I could not experience in full this phenomenon, because we were there a little bit earlier for the it, but apparently, in certain times of the year, more particularly when is a full moon, the tide comes in the city, washes off the streets, stick for a bit, making the little village look like Venice and leave.
Sometimes, I would wake up in the morning and see its traces in a few locations.
I came back home with all these information in my heart and lately I have been trying to explore the idea in my paintings.
These a few of them, there are more to come and I will be showing them all in August 19th, at the Women’s Art Festival in Kingston, Ontario.
I hope you enjoy it!
