Recentemente, a tragédia abateu-se sobre a minha família. Sem estarmos minimamente preparados, fomos devastados pelo terramoto do falecimento da minha mãe. Estes últimos tempos têm sido por isso mesmo muito difíceis, numa busca incessante para encaixar esse acontecimento trágico na minha vida, e procurando colar cada pedaço do meu coração no seu lugar devido, sabendo de antemão que o resultado final nunca ficará 100% igual ao que era antes. Algumas peças deste puzzle cardíaco ficarão um pouco fora do sítio, e faltará sempre uma peça para o trabalho ficar completo. Mas a vida é mesmo assim... uma sequência infindável de quedas, de levantares, de destruições e reconstruções, das quais nunca saímos iguais ao que antes fomos.
É nestas alturas em que aquilo em que acreditamos visceralmente é posto à prova. E as minhas mais fortes convicções - as que atrás enumerei - não me deixaram ficar mal. Aliás... diria mesmo que têm sido aquilo que me mantém focado e equilibrado.
Desde Junho que tenho andado às voltas com um projecto de ilustração para a Clínica Dentária MD Clínica (localizada na Rua Castilho, em Lisboa) que recentemente abriu uma nova clínica - MD Kids - totalmente orientada para um público infanto - juvenil. Este projecto envolveu a concepção de um conjunto de 7 ilustrações de vários formatos, todas alusivas à saúde oral e aos cuidados que temos de ter para manter bonitos os nossos dentes. Este projecto estava em velocidade de cruzeiro até ser atingido por uma das piores fases da minha vida. Não foi uma tarefa nada fácil recomeçá-lo, com todas as minhas fibras a gritarem para nada fazer, nada pensar, nada viver. Na verdade... até cheguei a duvidar que alguma vez o conseguisse acabar. Mas assim que venci a inércia da dor, tudo se tornou mais fácil. É por isso que nos próximos dias, com um imenso sorriso de sol, mostrarei aqui todas as ilustrações e também os vídeos em timelapse que fui produzindo durante a sua execução.
Espero que gostem tanto daquilo que irão ver, quanto eu gostei de as fazer.
I have always believed that art, creativity, color and love can really save the world. I know that for many, this speech may sound kitsch and totally inadequate in this increasingly schizophrenic world in which we live. In fact, they might have some reason. We live in insane and dangerous times where the only colors that seem to prevail are the grays, black, white and blood-red. But in fact ... it's exactly on the consciousness of the madness in which we are falling that i reinforce myself in what I believe. In fact, they might even have some reason. We live in insane insane and dangerous times where the only colors that seem to prevail are the grays, black, white and blood-red. But in fact ... it's exactly the madness of consciousness in which we are falling I brace myself as what I believe. We need more and more of Higher Beings contrary to this terrible human tendency toward entropy. And I strongly believe that the awareness of the four corners above can really help this to be a reality.
Recently, tragedy struck on my family. Without being minimally prepared, we were devastated by the earthquake death of my mother. These last days have been so difficult in a relentless quest to fit this tragic event in my life, and looking paste each piece of my heart in place, knowing beforehand that the end result will never be 100% equal to that It was before. Some pieces of this heart puzzle will be a little out of place, and always miss a piece for the work has been completed. But life is still ... an endless sequence of falls, get up, of destruction and reconstruction, of which we left never the same as they were before.
It is in these dark times when what we believe is tested. And my convictions - those enumerated ago - did not let me down. They keep me me focused and balanced.
Since June I have been dealing with illustration work for the Dental Clinic MD Clinic (located in Rua Castilho, Lisbon) which recently opened a new clinic - Kids MD - fully oriented towards a children's audience. This project involved the design of a set of seven illustrations of various shapes, all alluding to oral health and care we have to have to keep our teeth beautiful. This project was at cruising speed until I was hit by one of the worst phases of my life. It was not an easy task to resume it, with all my fibers shouting for doing nothing, thinking nothing, live nothing. Actually ... I even doubt that i will ever could end it. But as soon as I have overcome the inertia of pain, everything became easier. That is why in the coming days, i will show here all the pictures and also the videos in timelapse I was producing during its execution.
I hope you enjoy it as much I enjoyed doing it.
