Sensitive Horizons

 

Sensitive Horizons is a series of paintings that investigates landscape as an emotional and symbolic territory. Inspired by Impressionism, particularly by Claude Monet, the works explore blur not as a loss of form, but as a presence of feeling, memory, and time.

Each painting is built through layered acrylic applications that create soft, diffused landscapes — spaces that resist precise definition and invite contemplation. Over this pictorial base, a second layer emerges through oil pastel and wax crayon marks. These entangled gestures traverse the surface like illustrated threads, introducing movement and texture.

These drawn filaments directly reference embroidery, a recurring language in my artistic practice and deeply connected to my background in fashion. Here, the thread is no longer material but gestural — crossing the landscape as wind, time, and emotional connection.

The series dialogues with other bodies of work such as Viver and Entre Laços, maintaining a continuous investigation into manual processes, layering, and human relationships. In Sensitive Horizons, the landscape becomes a sensitive field where connections, memories, and encounters are subtly woven into space.

Rather than depicting specific places, these works propose moments of pause and perception. They invite the viewer to inhabit a horizon shaped by layers, relationships, and transformation — revealing that, much like human bonds, landscapes are formed through time, connection, and shared experience.
