This series imbued with anuncanny language formed by strong fields of color, expressive gestures, and by words and characters from Portuguese, Spanish, English, and Kimbundu along with symbols from Afro-Brazilian culture. Painted in the afternoons while observing the celestial sphere passing through dramatic sunsets, the compositions are linked to investigations of origin, transformation, identity, and expanded notions around the cycle of life. Brasileiro calls upon collective forces, channeling them through her hands and words, focusing on plural manifestations, and the will of the multitudes. As a result, the paintings allow us to see different possibilities for the manifestation of light, gravity and moving masses, in a whirlwind of visceral expressions.
