Synopsis

After an artistic course with evident influences in the activity of graphic design, now, in opposition, the option was by the simple experimental relation between the materials and the emotions. This was the path taken for the realization of the exhibition "Naked". The spontaneous drawing as a way of tracing structures, and the paint, dirty by the gesture, marking different pictorial dynamics. Naked, because it is direct, naked, because it is free, naked, because everything is on display in an imaginary tribe.
