Painting

Painting eight themed mandalas for luxury Pousada ‘Minha Louca Paixão’ on the island Morro de São Paulo, Bahia, Brazil in collaboration with the Portuguese Artist PMC Feijão.

A project of labour, love and devotion painting on a concrete floor for three weeks. First, precisely outlining guidelines with white chalk, then painting over them in two to three layers of emulsion white paint.

A project for dear friends Sophia Fernades and Regina Amaral Martins who gave us the opportunity to work on the exclusive resort in Morro de São Paulo and to understand the beautiful process of making and creating a mandala.

Manadala diameters: from 2 metres to 6 metres
Materials: White chalk, white paint, string, old sofa leg
