Carnação: a materialidade da pintura e a corporificação de afetos

Abstract

This artistic research investigates how the body and flesh become central axes in my artistic process, especially in the paintings produced between 2024 and 2025. From an autobiographical perspective, I articulate personal experiences, affections, and memories as driving forces of creation, relating them to the materiality of paint, gesture, and support. To this end, I contextualize my development as an artist, from childhood drawings and tattooing to performance experiments, to understand how each stage influenced the imagistic construction of the body. References such as Didi-Huberman, Gail Weiss, Caravaggio, Goya, Adriana Varejão, and Walter Pimentel help to think about and unravel the body, flesh, identity, and affectivity in my work.
