Lima, who draws his inspiration from Brazilian folklore and his childhood memories in the countryside, breathes a spiritual and meditative dimension into his exhibition. His works, made from natural dyes and organic materials, offer a unique visual and sensory experience.
Through his unconventional techniques and raw creativity, Lima stands out in the world of contemporary art. She encourages visitors to take the time to fully appreciate her creations, inviting them to meditate on the beauty of imperfection and the fluidity of time.
Embracing collaboration and collective contribution, Lima transcends the boundaries of the individual to create evolving works that engage with audiences. His exhibition challenges the standards of perfection, preferring to celebrate imperfections as essential elements of the creative process.
“How To Eat The Sun and The Moon” is much more than just an artistic exhibition, it is a journey to the heart of Brazilian mythology and nature, inviting everyone to let themselves be carried away by the stories that its works evoke.
