Ever since I was a kid in São Paulo (where I was born), I was immersed in a progressive milieu, schooled across disciplines (theater, literature, fine art) without restriction. Later, in 1981 I got my B. Arch. and my studies and interests ranged wide-from Modern, Futuristic and Utopian architectural forms to their conceptual practice.
I was taught to believe that the "concept" is primary to practice. How interesting that, when I carry this conviction into my studio today, I make incredibly tactile things: unique (one-of-a-kind) prints that have been built up of many layers of ink; chine-collé and color viscosity; rounded brass forms cut from recycled Offset plates; paintings in oil on canvas and rough, re-purposed, industrial tarp; delicate sculptural objects (steel wool is one favorite material of late); and small-but-durable ceramics forged in a rather esoteric process called Saggar Fired, where organic material is fused onto clay in a gas firing.
Given all this diversity, you may ask: how do I know a piece is done? The answer is, when its concept has weathered the alchemy of many different materials and processes and brought to a place of (what I consider to be) perfection/completion. Complexity should, at its best, yield something direct and pure.
I'm currently a visiting professor at Pratt Institute and a faculty member at the Lower East Side Printshop and the New Jesey Print Center. In Brazil I teach workshops at the Museu Lasar Segal in São Paulo, and Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Laje in Rio de Janeiro.
