I am a firm believer that my true nature and state of mind, are an integral part of each piece of artwork I create.
To me, life is full of vulnerable moments which should never be denied but embraced. I see genuine beauty when those experiences are overcome and turned into awareness and strength.
Since I was a kid, I have always been drawn to elements such as flowers, crystals, porcelain figures, in which I find the best representation for the system I belong to.
This painting describes the feeling that everything is upside-down when you are struggling to belong. That's the reason why I set all elements that way, and Muzi named it "Bridging".
The other elements (crystals, ceramic boy and birds) gravitate towards his Brazilian roots and his references for home.
The Australiana flora in the middle represents Australia, and the drippings (his artistic signature) portray the impermanence, as well as the sweat and the tears that are part of all significant steps in life.
