A poesia tem que ser viva, assim como o poeta

Abstract

This is an art research with the general objective of understanding how the relationships between words and images have occurred in my creative processes. To do this, I used the autobiographical narrative to contextualize the experiences lived between Altamira and Goiânia that today I consider relevant to situate my trajectory as a poet and artist. When reporting my journey, I tried to observe in the works previously created how poetry has fed my visual production and, also, how the image started to behave like a poem. In this process, I realized that there is an important interaction between three key elements for understanding my artistic work: the poet, the street and the poem. In this research, I write about some methods, procedures and materials involved in my work and I understand that, since my arrival in Goiânia, in 2010, the street was not only the way to integrate myself into the new urban space, but it was also a partner in the processes from creation. On the street I began to record what I saw, heard and felt, and in my work I began to transform listening and experiences into poems. This research results in a new artistic work that consists of three Poems - Maria, Zé Pilintra and Sebastião, a work that becomes a point of confluence for so many stories about heart, outburst, city and poetry, stories that situate the artist and poet that I am.
