My experience in India was very important for many reasons.First, for being able to be in touch with people and a culture extremely rich and diverse. It was also important to penetrate in the Indian landscape and architecture, so singular and different from Brazil!

Important to me was also the possibility of realizing the greatness and the cultural richness of people that, in their majority (as in my country), lives in misery.

From my contact with the Indian culture, my artwork changed, becoming even more complex. From the visual culture of the country, I appropriated patterns; print samples that are still helping me create a new period in my paintings, which are totally inspired in India.

I cannot forget, equally, how essential it was to share these days with colleagues from all over the world, being able to exchange ideas and experiences on which I am still reflecting about, and, surely, will broaden even more the complexity of my work.
