Works of the artist

In the beginning, it was the dictatorship! I have learned how to express my revolt through the political participation and to relieve my sadness through the artistic manifestation. My works clearly approached the (d)effects of the dictatorship. Those were years that marked, until today, my professional activity. Many critics and admirers of my work still hope to see in my pictures the same themes of that time. 
The times changed. The democracy arrived for us, Brazilian, although late and incomplete, and our future is in our hands. Approving or not, the rulers which we chose are there because the majority voted on them and, that must be respected. After all, we struggled for it! One day we will learn with our mistakes and we will choose better our representatives. I think that the seed was planted in fertile soil and, little by little, the tree is growing. 
In that way, my longings and concerns transcended for a new dimension related with the human condition in the planet and, even after the series "Brave New World", "The Seattle Project" and "Brave New Middle Age", I feel that the philosophical subject is not finished. Actually I continue being bothered by the directions that the humanity has been taking when doing thoughtless and inconsequent use of a powerful technology.  It saddens me the fact that the planet produces daily enough for all human beings to have "our daily bread" and, despite of that, not all of them receive it. I notice that we continued to play as the owner of the nature.
We didn't act as part of the nature, but as owners of it. I feel that the revenge approaches!  

In the series "Brave New Millennium" I introduce the human being, in situations of indifference, arrogance and prepotency behind the subjects that refer to the survival of the species in the planet. In that sense, the series approaches a technological idolatry that has been leaving human being dazzled, but impotent, behind the disastrous results provoked by his "Caprices" or "Caprichos" as would say Goya!
