Flemish painters on genealogy heritage. Trees of knowledge not only physical but also mental. Family names brings ways of questioning history, family stories and goals of life. In a time where we discuss territories of belonging or not, I think we can’t forget the movements of people around world since ever and ever. The role of women has an unquestionable importance up paths of actions and political changes. Thanks Stefaan van Biesen for this gift. A photograph so great and beautifully to open minds for the color life we share.

memories came and go. as ways of drawing and processing concepts and técnics . Fragments, details of work have the power to push up to not forget how important is the courage to continue and goes on with experimentation of materiaility of things. Graphit was a material i discover as acquarel in 2009. I searched that time for a grey like pencils but without the traces without lines and marks. As i always do i search. I search without knowing what i search. I spend time and money searching and with experimentations. I lost a lot. I fail again and again. But i do not give up. And it was like that. With my persistense i discoverd acquarelle with graphite powerd. And with this process that i used in my drawing master studio i did a memorable performance. The teacher did an áudio captation. A memory of me, my body my new technic and that place, the clauster with that particular tree. It was 2009. Years after, May be 2012 a tradicional portuguese factory Viarco created something similar and by that time i started seeing at Madrid at Arco similar drawing as i did.
