Exploring Roots: Northeastern Brazilian Woodcut in Contemporary Art
In a vibrant tribute to the artistic traditions of Northeastern Brazil, I present a series of illustrations that blend the ancient technique of woodcut with contemporary
sensibility. Epiece is a visual celebration of the narratives and colors that permeate our
regional culture, capturing the vibrant essence and nuances of life in the Northeast.
While creating these pieces for the campaign of a leader committed to our local development, I delved into the roots of woodcut, exploring its striking lines
and the eloquent simplicity of its forms. Every detail was meticulously crafted to
convey not only a distinctive visual style but also a message of connection
and pride in our cultural heritage.
These illustrations are more than just art; they are a manifestation of identity and history,
inviting reflection on our rich artistic tradition and its ongoing relevance in our
contemporary context. May every stroke and every etching serve as a reminder
of the beauty that resides in our folk art, and as a testament to the transformative
power of visual expression.
