As I also really like drawing and painting on canvas, I started thinking what I could do to display on the three available walls to hang my work for the Degree Show. Through the performance of photos, I joined some and began to choose the one that best would be good to do the painting. First I did some drawings on paper and painted my own portrait, I used India ink and acrylic paint.
I love working in my private studio at home because I can think better of late night, and here I have almost everything I need to develop my artistic practice.
And I was thinking of something I could complementary to illustrate and develop with other practices, my performance.
It was then through the inspiration of artists I’ve ever had researched, I made the canvas entitled “the movement of color,” well, on this creation I worked with a large canvas and used acrylic paint of different colors using a hair dryer to spread and making the movement of colours within the canvas, this inspiration came from Oiticica Parangolés on the use of color on the capes with movement through the use by some people to the sound of samba rhythm. This work differs in a point of Oiticica Parangole because he brought the movement of the colour of the canvas out for the air, and I did the other way I tried to give a movement of colors inside the canvas. All my work is documented through photos and videos, which will be subsequently posted on this blog.
This was my studio place where I glued on the wall several pictures of the some artists as Helio Oiticica, Ligia Clark, Ligia pape, Ives Klein, which I sought inspiration to starting my project in the performances art.

After some attempts in create a different artwork with mixed media I had some displeasure with results of the canvas, how I talked in the other tag on this blog about plaster and Colourful acrylic paint, I decided to create new canvas with plaster but this time I did not use acrylic paint, I used colored paper foam and the result was better because the plaster not destroyed the chosen color in each canvas. Then from here I got a final result better than the first experience, because my goal was to work with plaster covering the color and after I opened the centre of plaster on the canvas to showing the colour that was underneath as a transformation, letting the colour comes to the surface.
Materials used in the mixed media: plaster, water, wood glue, canvas A4 size used in the opposite side, coloured paper foam.
These canvas with other my artworks, I have got displayed on my Degree Show at UCS from June 4 until 14/2015.
This was the note I made to show the teachers in my assessment and to use in any other presentations.
Notes of the Bride Performance: “REBORN”
This performance last about 10 minutes.
I will enter the room, and my assistant will be properly dressed safely clothes waiting for the beginning of the play of the action. I will walk a little, then I will sit and then lie down on the living room floor, and my assistant will make dough like making a cake, with plaster and will put on my body. Let dry for 10 minutes, and then I will break the plaster on my body while I standing up, after of the plaster be removed from the body, I’ll be few seconds of standing, I will finish the performance.
