“The title is borrowed from Clarice Lispector’s novel Agua Viva, a reminder of the atmosphere by which these paintings were made: the humming aggression, a silent rhythm, and the wonder of arriving at what I want to see. Working allows me to continue searching in and through form, discover new structures in painting, and hopefully give homage to people whose hearts are worn out but are still in the right quiet place.”
