Over 15 years, I cumulated about three years in Brazil. This painting project is opportunity to encapsulate the feelings that draws one to quit one’s culture, the inner experiences triggered by living in a foreign country.

This project has a light narrative structure around my last stay (2022). Each painting has a tittle that situates it within that narrative. From the first one, “Entering the Dream”, to the last one, “Travelling Between Two Dreams”, one questions here if one ever comes back from those trips. In traveling between cultures – and countries – something is abandoned, perhaps definitely. What is it? Is it the adhesion to one’s sets of beliefs? Is it the dream of finding a “perfect world”?
