Na forja do processo de criação em arte: um diálogo representativo entre elementos naturais e artificiais

Abstract

In the forge of the process of creation in art: A representative dialogue between natural and artificial elements, is my Course Completion Work, which is characterized as a memorial of my production, from 2000 to 2021. I see artistic production as a forge, in a sequence of desires to build, to achieve a poetics of work that I am still in search of. The poetics that conducts the act of doing is not constructed, it is constructed while doing. The Forge is this moment when everything meets, including practice and theory, contradictory and conflicting feelings, such as distress and bitterness and sweetness in the face of something new, which makes you change. This forging moment is like a furnace where raw material such as metal is molded to become something useful or simply aesthetic and historical. Thus, this memorial presented here is the result of an exercise in which we sought to structure, as an act of curatorship, a grouping of production by approximations considered the most significant. An exercise that led to the choice of fire, as one of the elements of nature, recurring in my artistic production, to present as a visual work, at the end of the course. As a general objective, I will seek to map all my artistic production, in two decades and as a specific objective, to present and reflect on fire as one of the elements of nature that I appropriate, sometimes as a rite of passage, sometimes as a documentary record, sometimes as a video art and photography. A series, as part of my visual production that began in 2015. Nature is one of my main sources for my creative process, combined with my experience as a gardener, in the work I do daily. If I prune a tree, I am concerned with visual aesthetics and I try to sculpt it as a work of art. As a Visual Arts major, I take nature as a material and symbolic source for many of my artistic creations.
