Da formação da imagem (imaginário) ao fazer milenar da xilogravura.

Abstract

This research project is a work that is part of my own creative path using xylography. It has as major interest on the contemporary scene, in which images proliferate convulsively. These images appear in my artistic production as representations of a world full of contradictions, disturbances, internal and external conflicts that occur in the assembled work. That work relates itself to dreams, daydreams, or even delirium. I bring here a set of works made with xylography, a technique very close to my own artistic expression, and not only used as a possibility of multiplying images. The assembling of images, a procedure which is always used in the works presented here, is a way of enabling the appearance of a crossings’ composed imaginary. In this moment, the line brings the personal poetic tone in xylography. More than before, it is for the incision in a MDF matrix that I start looking until getting to the print. Thus, if xylography is the language that allows me to develop a human theme, and if its paper print and the expression, which is taken through many procedures before getting into those contemporary scenes, are the final seen print, the principle is the line. With the line I work over the MDF plaque and give rhythm to my own poetics.
