Untitled
Solange Pessoa, 2017
Untitled (2017) by Solange Pessoa depicts a tree that is simplified, compact, almost geometric on canvas: a mental image of the elements of life, of nature's movement — a vital, interior tree. This painting made using pigments drawn from the Belo Horizonte environment in which the artist works — achiote, linseed — also serves as a manifesto linked to the earth. Matter here is not merely medium: it is memory, territory, and cosmology.
