When I started to fall in love with surfing and its culture in 2005 I always wanted to paint waves, but I wanted to draw and paint waves more realistically. Your work has a wonderful style where does this come from? I haven’t had this opportunity yet because here in Brazil there is still no wave pool ready, the first one will be launched in two years, SurfLand in Praia do Rosa. Yes, I have already been involved in two projects involving a wave pool, one is still in progress and I cannot disclose it. I was able to enjoy the wood and bring life to it through art. I took this wood from the trash, and using its original colors and textures I built my vision of the waves. The boats were made of wood and from time to time they took old wood to renovate the boats and threw the old wood away to set it on fire.
#COLORFUL WAVE ART SERIES#
I’ve had a special job too, a series of surf art that I did with the aim of reusing wood from the artisanal fishing boats of the beach where I used to live. I’ve done projects with environmental preservation organizations in partnership with Save The Waves and Surfrider and my focus is this and through art to bring this reflection. The main message is environmental awareness. The goal is to make people see that each beach is a different beach, with its beauties and peculiarities, each one is unique and that is why we need to take care of them, preserve and care to be able to maintain it. It has a big, small, green, blue, fast and slower, hot and colder, each one is different and my work tries to show these differences.
My work seeks to show the beauty of the beaches and the waves, showing their differences between them, their characteristics and shapes, because each wave around the world is different. What do you hope to achieve with your art – socially or politically? Also a little of the organic forms of the Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral, but one of the artists who inspire me the most today are also Californian Jay Alders, I love his work. I love curves and shapes, my work is based on a lot of movement and colors, the movement that inspires me the most is the architect of the curves, Oscar Niemeyer.
