Desmatamento em Torno de Rugendas / Deforestation around Rugendas, 2024 - each 30 x 42 cm, Cyanotype and inkjet on Paper.

“I have used Cyanotype ink on top of a set of 19th century Rugendas’ landscapes in order to achieve this effect of turning a daylight scene into nighttime. While highlighting environmental issues and the protection of forests (Deforestation in Brazil started in the 19th century due to coffee plantation). The grid is once more a recurring subject part of my visual vocabulary throughout my work. Whether representational or abstract. Together with the accompanying Chopin Nocturne No20 the mood becomes quite melancholic, mysterious and romantic. “
