Egos: Processo Criativo Autobiográfico em Artes Visuais

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis consists of an autobiographical study based on creation in Visual Arts. Therefore, it is a qualitative research approach associated with the theoretical-methodological framework of process critique, utilizing autoethnography to understand the creative movement. To this end, I discuss the journey of construction and development, as well as the nuances and unfolding of my identity as an autonomous and conscious individual. This work conducts an analysis of the creative process behind my autobiographical artistic production, which addresses issues of identity and intimacy, in a journey of seeking social and cognitive emancipation, influenced by my trajectory as a self-aware being. Additionally, it aims to develop a critical sense of oneself and how everything has unfolded up to the current moment of the ego. The research is supported by theorists such as Borges (2022), Canton (2002), Erikson (2012), Neves (2016), Salles (1998), and Sibilia (2016). The main objective of this study is to investigate the creative process of autobiographical works, exploring the mapping and analysis of the transformations of the ego concerning identity, as well as the subjective issues inherent to them. It also seeks to present these autobiographical works to enhance the understanding of the research, functioning also as a pedagogical action linked to the study. Furthermore, the research aims to contribute to expanding the debate on autobiographical creations within the visual arts through the artist's confessional.
