Caminhos: pinturas sobre migrações forçadas

Abstract

This Memorial, entitled “Paths: Painting on Forced Migrations”, presents the creative process of producing a series of ten original paintings, as well as a brief investigation into the history of art and migratory movements. Due to its theoretical-practical nature, it is characterized as an exploratory and qualitative research in art, which uses bibliographical and documentary surveys as procedures. It includes personal accounts of experiences and content pertinent to this academic training, as well as concerns peripheral to the main theme that, however, are intrinsic to the production of the series and direct my artistic work. The guiding points of this work were the theme of forced migrations, and the form, because through the Reflective Memorial I use poetic language to express issues and concerns that are pertinent to the processes of pictorial production. In this way, I aspire to be able to contribute to the education of others and to raise social interest in the theme of forced migrations.
