L3XV5_N0VU5 is a seminal collection of biograms born from line drawings created directly on the screen and taken on a new three-dimensional life.


The project marked the conclusion of my postgraduate studies in Contemporary Artistic Practices at FAAP, becoming not only an artwork but also the fundament for my current art research practice. This work not only explored the expansion of the line in the three-dimensional field, but also my notion of a transdimensional object – an object that simultaneously exists in the digital and physical world, connected by an imaginary string of traits.

My practice has evolved from a deep connection with poetry to a complex dialogue between writing, drawing and sculpture. The line drawings that I’ve been developing since my youth (and so called biograms) became the main basis of my research after my postgraduate in Sao Paulo. I have explored the expression of the line as a biological, anthropological, and social phenomenon, using it to question and interpret the way we relate to the environments (umwelt) around us.


With this in mind I’ve been unfolding my art practice and expanded the analysis of the line to encompass the three-dimensional field at first and also grasp the notion of the transdimensional field as a theory. As I entered the digital world and the metaverse with my biograms, which were always born in two-dimensional drawing, it begins to exist in a new domain, assuming more of its aspect as a thread than its aspect as a trace. This transformation has allowed me to experiment and expand the concept of the line and the drawing in unprecedented ways for me, and I believe it may guide future trans-dimensional developments (union of digital and material) with very innovative approaches within the arts, and especially drawing and sculpture – not to mention its symbolic and / or calligraphic dimensions.

Ultimately, my experimental practice here tries to research and embrace the idea of drawing as sculpture and the act of drawing as a dance. This creation process becomes three-dimensional gestures that involves my body in space – as well as the bodies of spectators during the production and, mainly, the exhibition of these culture artifacts. This movement, this dance, becomes a way of sculpting the line in the Field.

 

I continue to investigate and expand the limits of what drawing can be and how it can be used to understand and interact with the world and environments around us.
