Desejo (2009) Painting by Rodrigo Brasil

From a very young age I always enjoyed drawing and painting, there was a genuine desire to record the world, everything felt absolutely magical and meaningful. Despite the frustrations and disappointments that life tends to bring as an adult, this desire and wonder has never been lost, it has become a search for the hidden meaning behind all those things that seem to sparkle in the eyes when we stop to look closely. Art, paintings, are a way of unveiling the beauty that is hidden behind things. For the simplest places, moments, are full of meaning and the world, the modern rhythm, loses them, lets them escape. Art is for me a way to capture this real hidden meaning, for a moment something that is infinite fits inside something finite and that's how a painting 'shines' like a precious stone that captures the beauty of daylight.
