{"product_id":"five-seasons-verde","title":"FIVE SEASONS \"Green\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e In this group of paintings, I depict elements of nature. My themes revolve around the birds and flowers of the Cerrado, as well as native Amazonian fish: the Sarro (Corydoras sp.), the Acará Açu (Astronotus spp.), and birds such as the woodpecker (Colaptes campestris), the araçari (Pteroglossus), the macaw (Ara ararauna), the toucan (Ramphastos), and critically endangered primates such as the black tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus).\u003cbr\u003e \nMy inspiration comes from the chromatic coincidences found in the paintings of Sonia Delaunay (a pioneer of European modernism and abstract art in the early 20th century) and Mestre Ataíde, a painter and sculptor of the Brazilian Baroque period who lived between the late 18th and early 19th centuries.\u003cbr\u003e \nI designed the figures of the birds and flowers as elements to be filled with layers of tempera. Before applying the paint to the canvas, I conduct a chromatic survey of specific works by these artists and create a reference chart. This way, I construct chromatic relationships, using pigment diluted in the solvent, and applying the color in specific regions, like graphic maps, up to the limit of saturation, until the compaction is almost complete, layer after layer. This is unlike the use of tempera in the work of the Italian-Brazilian chromatic artist and abstract painter Alfredo Volpi, who typically applied the diluted color in a few layers, allowing the luminous white of the canvas to show through.\u003cbr\u003e \nI transform figures in the form of flowers, fish, and birds into graphic regions where I apply color, like maps to be filled. This particular format, the non-realistic representation of flowers, fish, and birds, was born from my long research into the work of William Morris and Wenzel Peter, the subject of my most recent series of paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carlos Rezende","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56203476697474,"sku":"110506","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/pintura_2_1.jpg?v=1768318167","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/five-seasons-verde","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
