Titan's heart

You may have noticed that I’ve been working on the concept of the heart as a representation of the human condition in its various forms, in my view what could be more appropriate?

I had this big red rock and made plans to make a heart and call it Titan’s heart but I decided to make some smaller versions first with the same type of stone and on wood, then I got an invitation to make something for the Public Art exhibition that takes place every year in Sintra, since the work must have appropriate dimensions to be on the street I thought the time was right to go for it.

The creation of my pieces starts with the observation of the complex relations established between phenomena as diverse as nature’s fertility, man made objects, music or art history. It’s an intimate work in search of integrating conflicting forces, ultimately leading to the transmutation of the parts in to a transcending whole. The shape contains in it self the memory of the evolution from one condition to another in a process of transformation that is at the same time natural, personal and cultural.

A concepção das minhas peças parte da observação e da abstracção das relações que se estabelecem entre fenómenos tão diversos como a fertilidade da natureza, objectos de construção humana, a musica ou a história da Arte. É um trabalho íntimo que busca integrar forças em conflito e que conduz à transmutação das partes num todo que as transcende. A forma guarda a memória da evolução de uma condição para outra, num processo de transformação que é pessoal, natural e cultural.
