TEXTS


By Eugênia Gorini Esmeraldo
Aperture is a composition with prevalence of blues and whites, divided in the central area by two vertical, almost parallel black lines, that also split a large circle, dark on the right and white on the left. To the right, the blue is bordered by a beige-pink strip reaching the frame while in the area to the left there are a number of light and dark patches. There is a harmonic modulation in the various tonalities. The forms are free in space, like clouds of colors scattered around a peculiar colored firmament.

— Eugênia Gorini Esmeraldo, 1998
