Piece description from the artist
In this work, I use the snake plant (Espada-de-São-Jorge) as a symbol of Brazilian identity, protection, and faith. Common in Brazilian households, the plant carries a strong connection to African-based religious traditions, where it is associated with spiritual defense, strength, and the opening of paths. The vase and its graphic patterns reinforce this popular and ancestral identity, bringing together the sacred and everyday life. It is a still life that is not static: it vibrates with belief, resistance, and Brazilian culture.
Rogério Arruda is a Brazilian visual artist and illustrator with 15 years of experience.
As an enthusiast of artistic production, he has developed a collection of vases and flowers inspired by renowned artists such as Matisse, Van Gogh, Monet, among others.
These artworks were created using the technique of digital collage, combining diverse textures, including his own paintings, woodcuts, photographs of textured walls, old books, and more. This unexpected fusion of textures, along with vector drawings, results in a complex and unique work of art, challenging the precise definition of its technique – is it a collage, a painting, or a drawing? In fact, it is a bit of each. It is a fusion of processes, with the sole aim of achieving beauty.
